Verse resume template

It suits people who work with words and taste: writers, editors, journalists, copywriters, PR specialists, and roles in publishing, museums, architecture or fashion. Designers who prefer restraint to color blocks will like it too; the masthead stays balanced without a photo.

An optional round photo sits centered above your name, with contact details centered below and no icons unless you switch them on. A thin vertical line sets off the right column. Section titles are italic and in sentence case over a hairline; employers and dates are italic too, and bullets are small crimson dots.

• Centered masthead with a Didot-style serif and an italic headline
• Italic section titles over hairlines, as in a magazine
• Skills written inline as words, not chips or bars

With no color blocks and a plain text masthead, Verse is gentler on parsers than most creative templates, and inline skills give applicant tracking systems (ATS) simple words. Still, some systems may jumble the right column, so mention key skills in your experience or use a single-column template.

• Open your profile like an article: two or three sentences on what you do and one result that proves it.
• Keep the centered headline to one line: “Senior Copywriter” reads better than a list of roles.
