Beacon resume template
Beacon is our default layout. Your name is set large and bold in Inter, the headline sits in your accent color, and every section starts with a dark uppercase heading over a full-width rule. Each role puts the job title and dates on one line and the employer and place on the next, so a recruiter can scan titles down the left and dates down the right.
Free to edit and download. Have a resume already? Check it first, then open it in Beacon without retyping.
