Bare resume template
Your whole career as clean running prose.
Bare strips the resume to its essence: no boxes, no bullets, no dividers — just elegant serif paragraphs where each section opens with a bold run-in lead ("Experience.") and flows on. Roles chain together with em dashes, details join with semicolons, and your contact line sits inline under your name. It is the boldest minimalism in the collection, and it reads with remarkable narrative force.

Will Bare pass applicant tracking systems?
All content is real single-column text, which parses fine. The unconventional run-in headings mean you should confirm the parser detects section titles — most modern parsers will.
Every Cvyon template exports through your browser's print-to-PDF, so the text layer stays selectable and searchable — the thing parsers actually read. After downloading, run your resume through our free ATS grader to confirm it scores well before you apply.

Questions about the Bare template
Is Bare too unconventional for job applications?
It suits fields where voice and narrative matter — writing, consulting, academia. For rigid corporate portals, pair it with a conventional PDF export.
How do recruiters scan it without bullets?
Bold role names and section lead-ins create natural scanning anchors; the prose flows between them.
Will my achievements get lost in the paragraphs?
Keep each achievement as a short clause separated by semicolons, and the rhythm stays punchy rather than dense.
