About this resume template

When to use the Modern design

A coloured header band and headings in your colour, still one column that an ATS can read.

Creative roles often get a resume that looks good but breaks when software reads it: two columns, skill bars and icons. This template gives you the colour without the risk. A band in your chosen colour holds your name and contact details, and the section headings pick up the same colour. Everything else is the same single column of plain text as our ATS-friendly template, so it reads correctly on job portals and prints cleanly in black and white.

What's on it

  • Coloured header band with name, contact and portfolio link
  • Job title under your name
  • Professional Summary
  • Work Experience
  • Education
  • Projects with links
  • Skills
  • Languages

Best for

Designers, marketers, content writers and product people

Also good for

Startups and agencies where a plain resume can look dated

And for

Anyone who wants some colour without the layout problems of a two-column design

Tips

Tips for the Modern resume

Small changes that make this design work harder for you.

  • Pick one calm colour: dark blue, teal or green read as confident. Bright red or yellow is hard to read on a header.

  • Put your portfolio link in the header. For design roles it matters more than anything else on the page.

  • Use Projects for work you are proud of that isn't from a job: a side project, a redesign, a case study.

  • Check the print: the band should still be readable in grayscale on an office printer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the Modern resume template.

Is a modern resume template ATS-friendly?
This one is. The colour is only in the header and headings; the content is one column of real text with standard headings, which ATS software reads correctly.
Can I change the colour?
Yes. In the Resume Builder pick from seven colours. In the Word file, select the header paragraphs and change the shading colour.
Should I add a photo to a modern resume?
Usually not. Most employers in the US, UK and India don't expect one, and photos can confuse ATS software. Add one only if the job post asks for it.
