Why it works

What Aurora does well

  • Reads top to bottom

    A single column means recruiters and software meet your experience in the same order: summary, roles, skills, education.

  • Modern without being loud

    One accent color on the rule and headings. It looks current next to plain Word resumes without looking like a design portfolio.

  • Scales from one page to two

    The layout holds together whether you have two roles or ten, so you won’t need to switch templates as your career grows.

A good fit for
  • Most professions
  • Career changers
  • Graduates
  • Mid-level professionals
  • Applications through large job portals

Is Aurora ATS-friendly?

One column in a standard reading order, with conventional section names and real selectable text. Applicant tracking systems parse it the way you read it.

Tips for writing in Aurora

  • Pick an accent that’s dark enough to read as text: navy, teal and deep purple all print well.
  • Keep your summary to two to four sentences so your first role starts above the fold.
  • Use the skills section for named tools and methods. Soft skills are more convincing shown in your bullets.

Before you send it, run it through the ATS resume checker, and tailor it to the job description you’re applying for.
