Journal resume template

It suits researchers, postdocs, lecturers and PhD candidates with a long chronological record, applying to universities, foundations or museums. Custom sections of the Entries type get the same date column, so grants, teaching and talks line up as neatly as jobs and degrees.

A thin black rule closes the centered header: your name in large small capitals, an italic headline and one contact line. Section titles sit in letter-spaced capitals above a light gray hairline. In experience, education, projects and custom entries, dates fill a left column about a sixth of the width. There is no photo.

• Italic dates in their own left column, aligned down the page
• Large small-caps name with a thin rule beneath the header
• Letter-spaced headings over light hairlines

Although the dates sit on the left, Journal is still one column of text: each date shares a line with its entry and follows the title in the underlying text. Applicant tracking systems (ATS) therefore pair them correctly in most cases and can still work out how long you held each post.

• If your date ranges wrap, pick the year-only or numeric date format.
• Add Grants, Teaching or Talks as custom Entries sections so they share the date column.
