Most kinds of application

Layout: Right sidebar
ATS compatibility: Very good
Photo: With photo

Although the page divides into several areas, the sections are built with flex rather than tables and the text layer stays linear, so common parsers take the information in the right order.

The photo fills a square at the top of the sidebar, the full width of the panel.

Sidebar on the right — reading order preserved. The sidebar sits on the right. Because parsers read left to right, name, title and experience come before the panel, making this the safest reading order among panelled layouts.

Layout

How the Executive Panel template is built

Knowing how information sits on the page before you pick a template directly affects how your application gets read.

Information panel on the right

The sidebar sits on the right. Because parsers read left to right, name, title and experience come before the panel, making this the safest reading order among panelled layouts.

Typography

Set in serif typography. It eases reading through longer blocks of text and carries the register expected in academic, legal and executive applications.

Section headings

A fine rule sits under each section heading, making the boundaries clear without using colour.

Use of colour

Contains a filled colour area. Because identity gathers there, the page separates at a glance.

Density

Line spacing is balanced — the middle ground between readability and fit for most applications.

How skills are presented

Skills are grouped under category headings with no level shown — the most readable way to handle a long list.

When not to choose this template

Applications where a visual portfolio is expected in the document itself
Applications where the employer mandates its own template
Very long career histories running past three pages

Frequently asked questions

About the Executive Panel template

Is the Executive Panel template ATS-friendly?

ATS compatibility for this template is rated “very good”. Although the page divides into several areas, the sections are built with flex rather than tables and the text layer stays linear, so common parsers take the information in the right order.

Does the Executive Panel template include a photo?

The photo fills a square at the top of the sidebar, the full width of the panel. A photo is not required: turn off “Show photo on resume” in the editor and the area is removed, with the page falling back to its photo-free layout.

Can I change template later?

Yes. The template is only a presentation layer; what you write is stored separately and carries over intact when you switch.

Will the PDF match this preview?

Yes. The preview and the PDF come from the same component: A4 (210×297 mm), accented characters and a selectable text layer are all preserved.

Can I change the colour in the Executive Panel template?

Yes. The accent colour control in the editor applies to this template too — pick any of the six presets.
