Capital resume template

It suits people whose name should stick: sales and business development leads, consultants, account directors, finance and real estate professionals, founders and freelancers who pitch to clients. With no dark color blocks, it also prints cleanly in black and white.

Inside the card, the photo sits on top, with email, phone, location and links listed beneath it. Below the header, the left column carries profile, experience, education and projects; the right column, a little over a quarter of the width, lists skills as chips, languages, certifications and interests. Section titles are bold capitals led by a small accent square.

• Oversized, extra-bold name with the headline in the accent color
• Rounded contact card on the right for photo and contact details
• Bold section titles led by small accent squares

Your name comes first and your contact details follow as real text, which suits applicant tracking systems (ATS). Below, some systems read the two columns out of order, and a few skip the side column. Mention core skills in your experience bullets too; for high-volume portals, a single-column template is safer.

• Keep the headline to one line; a clear title like “Regional Sales Director” works better than a slogan.
• The card sets the header's height, so more than five entries push the columns down.
