Who the Dark Banner template is best for

  • Directors, vice presidents and senior managers
  • Sales and business-development leaders who want a strong visual anchor
  • Candidates sending the resume directly to a person rather than through a portal

Less ideal for: Applications that go only through an online portal, where a plain family is the lower-risk choice.

ATS notes for the Dark Banner layout

This is a single-column family, the layout that reads in the simplest order.

  • Single column in every template of the family. The banner runs to the edge of the paper, so the top margin is applied inside it.
  • Light text on a dark banner is the risk to check: confirm in the ATS view that your name and contact details were extracted from the banner.

The only way to know what a parser reads from your own file is to look: export it, then run it through the ATS resume checker.
