Job-winning resume templates

A full-bleed accent band across the top with your name reversed out in white. Bold, modern, and still one clean column underneath.

Your initials set in a coloured square beside the name, with tinted section panels. The look consultancies and finance firms expect.

Thin-over-thick double rules under serif headings, with wide margins. Reads like a printed journal rather than a form.

Name and title on the left, contact details right-aligned opposite, divided by a single hairline. Quiet, senior and very legible.

A pale accent panel sits behind your summary so the first thing a recruiter reads is framed. Everything below stays plain and fast to scan.

A dated rail down the experience section with filled markers, so a long career reads as a progression instead of a list.

Every section sits in its own soft rounded card. Unmistakably designed, and each block still parses as ordinary text.

Very wide margins, one accent hairline, nothing else. When your experience is the argument, this gets out of its way.

A colour stripe down the left edge with badge-marked headings. Adds personality to a plain single column without crowding it.

A round headshot beside a colour-blocked header, then one clean column. For markets and industries where a photo is expected.

Each section numbered 01, 02, 03 down the page. The number is extracted alongside the heading, which parsers still segment on correctly.

Section titles set in rounded accent pills. Friendly and current without losing a clean single column.

A short accent rule sits above every heading instead of below it, grouping each title with the content it introduces.

A thick colour bar across the head of the page, then nothing but clean type. The least decoration that still reads as designed.

A heavy accent rule under your name and quiet ruled headings below. Survives a black-and-white print, where filled bars turn to grey.

Name and contact centred over pill section titles. Balanced and modern, and comfortable with a short work history.

Numbered headings in the main column with skills and languages in a tinted sidebar. Two columns, so check your ATS score.

Round headshot beside the name, pill headings underneath, one clean column throughout. For markets where a photo is expected.

Overline headings with a slim left sidebar for skills and contact icons. Modern, dense, and good for long careers.

Skills laid out in two even columns rather than one wrapped line, so a long list can be scanned instead of read.

A striking two-column layout with a colored left sidebar and skill meters.

A clean, top-header design with skill progress bars and distinctive timeline rails.

Bold layout with full-bleed cover photo, SVG icons, and colored progress bars.

Single column with a left-aligned header and ruled section titles. The safest all-purpose choice.
