Crest resume template

It is made for executive and senior roles in traditional fields: law firms, banking, audit and tax, insurance, consulting partnerships, public administration and board positions. The restrained type and warm brown accent signal experience rather than trendiness.

Under an optional round photo, your name appears in Georgia with slight letter spacing, then the headline in widely spaced accent-colored capitals and your contacts on one line without icons. Employers are set in italics, bullets in the accent color, and the right column, set off by a fine rule, shows skills and languages with thin bars.

• Double rules above and below the header, in the accent color
• Widely spaced headline under a centered serif name
• Italic employer lines and a fine rule between the columns

The centered header is plain text, so applicant tracking systems (ATS) find your name and contacts easily; the double rules are drawn lines, not characters. Caution applies to the columns: some systems read the side one out of order or ignore it. List key qualifications in your experience too, or use a single-column template for mass applications.

• Write your headline as a title, not a sentence: “Partner, Corporate Law” suits the spaced capitals best.
• Without a photo, the double rules frame just your name and contact line and still look complete.
