Who the Gallery template suits
Portfolio careers — photography, art direction, styling — where the resume is a companion to the work rather than the work itself.
What to watch out for
Airy, two-column, centred and photographed: the lowest-capacity, least parser-friendly layout on the site. Deliberately so.
How much fits on one page
This layout spends space deliberately, so it holds less than most. That works in your favour early in a career, where a densely packed page reads as padding — and against you after about a decade, when you may need the tighter text-size setting in the builder to stay on one page.
Gallery and applicant tracking systems
Gallery places Skills, Languages and Certifications in a sidebar beside your experience. Parsers read straight across a page rather than down a column, so a skill from the sidebar can land in the middle of a sentence about your last job. That does not make the template unusable — it makes it a design for human readers. Send this one when a person opens your application directly, and download the Word version for anything that goes through a portal, because that export is always single column whichever template you picked.
Where in the world to send the Gallery template
Photography, art direction and styling, in photo-expecting markets, sent to a person. That is a deliberately narrow set of conditions — it is the lowest-capacity and least parser-friendly layout on the site, and it is built that way on purpose.

Gallery template questions
Why choose the least practical layout here?
Because in portfolio careers the resume is a companion piece, not the case itself. When the work is doing the arguing, a page that looks composed serves you better than one that holds more — this is the only situation in which that trade makes sense.
What should actually go on it?
A short positioning summary, selected clients or productions rather than every engagement, and a prominent link to the work. Treat it as a contents page for your portfolio; anything that reads like a full employment record will not fit and should not try to.
Why is a centred portrait paired with two columns?
Because the centred photograph acts as the anchor for both columns beneath it rather than sitting inside one of them. It gives a symmetrical, folio-like page that suits design and hospitality portfolios. It is two-column below the header, so keep the Word export for portal applications.
