North Star Resume Template
Center-balanced header with a strong ATS keyword line and clear section rails.
North Star is built for candidates who treat ATS compatibility as a first-class requirement. A center-balanced header leaves room for a strong keyword line under your name, while section rails keep experience, education, and skills visually distinct for both human reviewers and automated parsers.
The template uses a compact, one-column flow with modern sans-serif typography. That combination helps dense résumés — common in engineering, operations, and data-heavy roles — stay readable without sacrificing the linear structure ATS software expects. Custom sections and page numbers are supported when you need extra room for projects or certifications.
North Star is a strong default when you are targeting a specific job description and want your summary and skills to mirror important terms. Pair it with our free ATS checker to see keyword gaps before you export, then refine bullets and skills in the same builder session.
