How the Whitespace template is laid out
The header is aligned to the right edge of the page, with a large name in a light weight. Section headings are also right-aligned, with a rule running in from the left to meet them. Margins of about 20 mm and airy spacing leave plenty of white space around the single column of content.
Who should use Whitespace?
Senior candidates, writers and designers with a focused history who want an unusual but calm page, especially for roles reached through referrals or networking.
Is Whitespace ATS-friendly?
Alignment changes where text sits, not the order it is read in. Content stays in one column, so parsing is unaffected.
A writing tip for Whitespace
Right-aligned headings work only when they are short. Use one-word headings such as Experience rather than Professional Experience.
