Centered Strip resume template: centered name, skills strip beneath

Centered Strip is a skills-first hybrid: a centered name over a tinted skills strip, then one single column. The spec describes it as one parser-safe column, which makes it the safest of the strip designs.

ATS notes for the Centered Strip layout

This is a single-column family, the layout that reads in the simplest order.

  • Single column with a skills strip under a centered name in every template of the family.
  • Its spec calls the column parser-safe. That is a design intent, not a promise about any employer's system, so still confirm in the ATS view.

The only way to know what a parser reads from your own file is to look: export it, then run it through the ATS resume checker.
