How to get the most from the Cobalt Modern layout
- The cobalt banner dominates the page, so put the name and the target job title in it and nothing else.
- Contact details sit in the light block beneath the banner; preview the first page to check all four lines fit without wrapping.
- The indigo rules already separate sections — adding spacing on top of them makes the page look crowded rather than structured.
How to customize the Cobalt Modern template
- 1
Add your contact details and summary
Open Cobalt Modern in the builder and enter your contact details, target job title, and a concise 2–3 sentence summary aligned with business professionals postings.
- 2
Prioritize measurable experience bullets
List recent roles in reverse-chronological order. Lead each bullet with a concrete action and outcome — scope, revenue, latency, patient load, or delivery metrics.
- 3
Align skills with the job description
Use the vacancy's names for skills and tools where they accurately describe your experience. Add evidence in your work history; repeating a term alone does not establish competence or guarantee a search match.

Verify reading order and export
Preview page breaks, then export the file type requested by the employer. Copy its text into a plain-text editor to check the order. The ATS Scanner provides a local checklist; Job Match compares your text with a specific posting.

Frequently asked questions
Practical details about formatting, ATS compatibility, and customizing the Cobalt Modern template.
Should the banner carry my current employer or my target role?
The target role. A banner is a positioning statement, and recruiters read it before anything else; the employer names belong in the experience section where the dates are.
Does the whole page need to stay white for ATS readability?
No. Colour is not what causes extraction failures — structure is. The body is one column of selectable text, so the banner and rules are presentation only.
Is the Cobalt Modern template really ATS-friendly?
ATS products and employer configurations differ, so this template cannot guarantee parsing or screening results. Check the layout and exported text, use accurate role-specific content, and follow the employer's file instructions. Any compatibility percentage shown on this page is not an independent test by an ATS provider.
Can I download my resume as a PDF or Word file for free?
You can export a PDF, Microsoft Word (DOCX), or plain-text (TXT) file without a watermark. Review the downloaded file before sending it and follow the employer's requested file format. ATS products and employer settings differ, so no template or export can guarantee parsing in every system.
Is this resume template completely free?
The resume builder and PDF, DOCX, and TXT exports are available without payment or an account. Online AI or analysis tools may depend on service availability; see the Privacy Policy for details about how submitted information is processed.
Do I need to create an account to use this template?
No account is required to use the builder. Drafts are stored in your browser; some online features send submitted information to configured services for processing. See the Privacy Policy for details.
