Professional look, ATS-safe structure

OR OmniResume Resume Design Seven design decisions that improve readability without breaking parsing.

One accent color, maximum

01 For headings or a single rule. Two or more colors reads as template, not document. 02 A bold heading and a regular body use the same font. Two fonts is almost always one too many. 03 Space between sections is what makes a resume scannable. Don't fill it. Let it breathe. 04 Icons and photos don't survive ATS well and rarely earn their space on a resume. 05 Same margin on all sides. Even if your content doesn't fill the page, the border should be consistent. 06 A thin underline is the simplest way to organize sections visually. No icons needed. OR OmniResume Every OmniResume template follows these rules. Pick one and ship it. Browse Templates
