Resume Template

Executive Split

Name and contact in separate blocks

Who it suits

  • senior, executive roles
  • Applications sent directly to an employer or by email
  • Short and mid-length resumes
Layout
Luxury minimal
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 sits beside the header block as a vertical portrait with rounded corners.

Name and contact in separate blocks. Very wide margins, large name typography and few sections. The page carries as little as possible and everything left breathes. For profiles with little content but high quality.

Layout

How the Executive Split template is built

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

Luxury minimal

Very wide margins, large name typography and few sections. The page carries as little as possible and everything left breathes. For profiles with little content but high quality.

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

Colour appears only in fine rules and headings; the rest of the page stays white.

Density

Generous line spacing and plenty of white space. On short and mid-length resumes it lets the page breathe instead of forcing it to look full.

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

You can compare the alternatives side by side in the template comparison table.

Frequently asked questions

About the Executive Split template

Is the Executive Split 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 Split template include a photo?

The photo sits beside the header block as a vertical portrait with rounded corners. 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 Split template?

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