Architecture resume template

Resumity suggests Daniel for designers, and its rounded grey heading pills give a quieter, more considered look than the rule-based layouts while staying a single column of text. The skills grid sits above the jobs, so software depth (Revit, Rhino, rendering) shows early, and the portfolio link in the contact line carries the visuals.

Second choice: Leslie. Leslie puts experience before skills with one blue accent, a better fit for project architects whose project history is the main argument.

Daniel template details and test results

Daniel prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

1. Professional Summary. State your building types, the phases you work in (schematic design through construction administration) and your licensure status in plain words. Firms staff projects by type and phase, and licensure progress tells them what you can take on now and later.
2. Skills. Daniel prints three unlabelled columns before the jobs: design and documentation skills, then software (Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, rendering), then client and consultant skills. Revit depth is often checked first, so say if you have led a model.
3. Work Experience. Each bullet gives the building type and scale (units, floors, square feet), the phase and your part: model lead, code analysis, details, construction administration. Architectural outcomes are permits issued, competitions won, budgets held and drawing sets issued on time.
4. Education. Give the degree exactly. NCARB's path to licensure begins with education, and its guidance covers NAAB-accredited programs, so note accreditation where it applies; a thesis topic or studio award can sit here while recent.
5. Licensure progress. Use the extra list for licensure progress: ARE divisions passed and your AXP reporting status. NCARB sets out the steps as education, experience through the AXP, the Architect Registration Examination, then licensure through a state board.

The same content as the files above, so you can copy a line or compare it with your own.

We exported this sample with Resumity's PDF exporter in Chrome on 2026-10-29 and read the file back with three open-source text extractors. This shows whether software that turns a PDF into text can recover it; it is not a test of any commercial applicant tracking system. How we test templates.
