Ember resume template

It suits hands-on, human work: chefs and bakers, hospitality, interior design, crafts, teaching, social work, therapy, illustration and photography. The large photo frame is an asset where a photo is customary, and experienced professionals get a warmer alternative to business layouts.

The sidebar, a little over a quarter of the page, ends in a fine peach edge. It opens with a large round photo in a white ring, then contact lines, skills with amber bars on peach tracks and languages with levels. The main column sets your name in Georgia above an italic headline.

• Cream sidebar with a large, framed round photo
• Georgia throughout, with amber section titles in sentence case
• Level bars for skills and languages on soft peach tracks

Georgia is a standard font and all text is real, but the left sidebar comes first in the reading order, so some applicant tracking systems (ATS) read your skills and contacts before your name, or skip them. Add key skills to your experience bullets, or use a single-column template.

• The cream sidebar suits warm accents like amber, rust or olive; with a cool accent, adjust it under Colors › Panel background.
• Pick a warm, well-lit photo; at this size, readers see it first.
