Slate Banner resume template
A pale slate header and compact spacing with strong uppercase section labels. Single-column formatting, standard headings and selectable text keep it ATS-friendly and easy to read. Free to download as an editable Word file.
Fictional sample: Alex Morgan, Senior Software Engineer. The download is editable in Word. No signup required.
Who Slate Banner suits
Slate Banner suits applicants in healthcare, administration, logistics and customer-facing roles who want structure on the page. The pale header and strong uppercase labels make each section easy to find in a quick first read.
Layout and typography
Slate Banner sets the page in Calibri with a full-width name band across the top of the page and compact, close-set spacing that fits a full history on one page. The sections run summary, experience, education, skills; you can reorder them in the editor before downloading.
The compact spacing fits a full work history on one or two pages. Group related skills under short labels so the uppercase headings and the skills list do not compete, and keep certifications in their own section where a recruiter expects them.
Is Slate Banner ATS-friendly?
Yes. Like every HappiResume template it is a single column of real text with standard section headings, no tables, text boxes, columns or images, and a common font, so an applicant tracking system reads it in order and finds every keyword. The download is an editable Word file (.docx), the format most application forms ask for.
