What Leslie looks like

  • Name, contact line and job title centred and set in blue.
  • Section headings in dark uppercase letters with a short blue underline.
  • Section order: summary, work experience, skills, education, projects.
  • Skills as labelled rows, with a dot after each label.

Who it suits

People who want one touch of colour on an otherwise plain page, with work experience ahead of skills.

Leslie parse test results

In our 9 October 2026 parse study we exported Leslie PDFs of three synthetic resumes (a one-page mid-career designer, a two-page senior engineering manager and a one-page graduate) with the same exporter the editor uses, then read each PDF back with three open-source text extractors: pdf.js 4.10.38, pdftotext (Xpdf) 4.00, pypdf 6.13.0. That makes 9 extractions of Leslie PDFs.

A bullet counts as intact when at least 95% of its four-word sequences appear in the extracted text. The sample PDF on this page is the mid-career file from the study, byte for byte.

What this does not show: we did not test commercial applicant tracking systems such as Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS or Taleo. Each employer configures its own system, so no template can promise how a particular employer will read it. The test checks that the text comes out complete and in order, not whether a recruiter likes the layout. Method, limits and raw data.

About the sample files

The sample is a one-page resume for a mid-career product designer, with two jobs, one project and one degree. Leslie prints its sections as Professional summary, Work experience, Skills, Education, Projects.

The DOCX is the same resume from the editor's Word export, so you can open it in Word or Google Docs and edit it. Word lays out text itself, so line breaks and spacing can differ slightly from the PDF.
