Bold Resume Template

The Bold template is built to be noticed. Your name sits large in heavy uppercase type and every section starts with a solid colour bar, so recruiters can jump straight to Experience, Skills or Education. Underneath, it is a clean single column.

Frequently asked questions

Is a bold resume design professional?

Yes, as long as the content stays clean. This template uses one colour and plenty of white space; the bold part is the type and heading bars, not graphics.

Will coloured heading bars print well?

Yes. Turn on “Background graphics” in the print window when you save the PDF — we remind you in the download steps.

Is the Bold template ATS-friendly?

Yes. The headings are real text on a coloured background, in a single column, so parsers read them like any other heading.
