About the Ledger template
Ledger brings the most popular tech resume layout to Google Docs. If you have seen the one-page LaTeX resume that circulates in computer science classes, this is that structure: a centered name and contact line, then education, experience, projects, and technical skills under clean full-width rules, with company and location on one line and role and dates on the next.
No LaTeX, no compiler, no fighting with packages: edit it in Google Docs in your browser, or open the Word file in Word or Pages. The example bullets are written the way engineering recruiters read: action, scope, and a number. US Letter and A4 versions, a matching cover letter, and a references page are included. An independent design inspired by the open-source template, not affiliated with its author.
Your purchase also includes a matching cover letter and a references page, built into the same document and styled to match this template exactly, so your whole application looks like it belongs together. Keep the pages you need and delete the rest.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as Jake's resume template?+
It follows the same widely used one-page structure, rebuilt from scratch for Google Docs and Word so you can edit it without LaTeX. It is an independent design and is not affiliated with the original template's author.
Why do tech recruiters like this format?+
It is dense but scannable: one page, clear sections, dates aligned on the right, and a projects section that shows what you have built. It also parses cleanly through applicant tracking systems.
Does this include a cover letter and references?+
Yes. Every template comes with a matching cover letter and a references page built into the same Google Doc as the resume, styled to match it exactly. They're included at no extra cost — just keep the pages you need and delete the rest before you export.
Are these templates ATS-friendly?+
Yes. Every BravoResume template is built on a clean document structure with standard section headings and fully selectable text, so applicant tracking systems parse your resume correctly instead of scrambling it.
How do I get my files after buying?+
Instantly. The moment your payment clears, we email you a link with your Google Docs template plus the Word- and Pages-compatible file. There's nothing to install and no account to set up.
Can I edit it in Microsoft Word or Apple Pages?+
Yes. Your download includes a .docx file that opens in Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, and most other word processors, right alongside the Google Docs version.
How long do I have access?+
Forever. Once you buy, the template is yours to use and reuse for every job application, with no subscription and no expiration date.
Do I have to pay extra for the fonts?+
No. Every font in the template is free, and the included Quick Start guide gives you direct install links so the layout looks exactly like the preview.
Can I get a refund?+
Because these are instant digital downloads, we generally can't offer refunds. But if anything is wrong with your files, email hello@bravoresume.com and we'll make it right.
