About this template
A confident, contemporary layout: a solid color header block for your name and contact info, sans-serif type throughout, and accent-colored section labels. It reads as current without going overboard on design — still single-column and parser-friendly underneath the styling, so it passes ATS screening the same as a plain template while looking more distinctive in a stack of applications.

FAQs
Will the colored header confuse an ATS parser?
No — the color is applied only as a background style; the underlying text content and structure are identical to a plain resume, so ATS systems parse it the same as any single-column format.
Is a colored resume template risky for conservative industries?
For banking, law, or government roles, a more traditional template is usually safer. The Modern template is specifically well-suited to startups, tech, design, and marketing, where a bit of visual personality is expected.
Can I change the accent color?
The free download uses a blue accent by default. Once you optimize your resume content with HireRaft, you can adjust styling to match your personal preference before exporting.
