Gutter resume template

Dates live in the margins — your story owns the page.

Gutter borrows a book-design trick: every role's dates sit in a dedicated left margin column in small italic type, leaving your main column entirely for roles, companies, and achievements. Wide outer margins and a serif face complete the printed-book feel. The result is a resume that reads like a well-typeset chapter of your career.

Will Gutter pass applicant tracking systems?

The margin dates are real text in a grid layout. Some older parsers read grids in unexpected order — check your PDF export's reading order for critical applications.

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 Gutter template

Will the margin dates confuse recruiters?

The grid alignment is precise, so dates clearly belong to their rows. Recruiters actually scan them faster in the margin.

Is Gutter ATS-safe?

Mostly — verify the reading order in your exported PDF for roles where parsing matters most.

What if a role has no dates?

The margin cell simply stays empty and the row still aligns cleanly.
