How the Brief template is laid out
The name and title share one line at the top, and the body uses compact 9.5 point type. Each section heading is a small solid label in the accent colour with white text, which makes the sections easy to find on a crowded page.
Who should use Brief?
Freshers and early-career candidates with many short items, such as internships, projects, certifications and college activities, who must keep everything to one page.
Is Brief ATS-friendly?
The heading labels are styled text, not images, so a parser reads Experience, Education and Skills normally. The page is one column.
A writing tip for Brief
For a fresher, order matters more than length. Put projects and internships above college activities, and give each project one line on what you built and one on the result.
