Timeline resume template

It is a natural fit when your progression is the selling point: steady promotions, a clear path from junior to lead, or a varied career that makes sense when seen in order. Graduates and career changers can also show how education, internships and projects lead to the role they want.

The header carries your name, a headline in the accent color, your contact details and an optional photo, underlined by a thin accent rule. Sections run in one column. In experience, education and projects each entry hangs off the timeline with its own dot, and dates sit on the right in the accent color.

• Vertical timeline with milestone dots in experience, education and projects
• Dates aligned on the right in the accent color, so tenure is easy to scan
• Headline in the accent color and a thin rule under the header

With one column and plain text, Timeline is among the safest layouts for applicant tracking systems (ATS). The line and the dots are drawn by the page style rather than added as images or characters, so they never end up in the parsed text.

• List your roles newest first; the line reads best when each step is a real move forward.
• Two or three results per role keep the timeline compact; older roles can have a single line.
