Resume Template with Photo

A coloured block across the top with a profile photo overlapping its edge. Direct and warm, which works in markets and industries where a photo is expected — check local convention before including one, as it is discouraged in the US and UK.

Who The Vibrant Header suits

  • Marketing and brand roles
  • Sales and business development
  • Startups and agencies
  • Markets where photos are conventional

What makes this layout different

  • Full-width accent block across the top of the page
  • Profile photo overlapping the header edge
  • High-contrast name treatment
  • Accent colour follows your chosen theme (Pro)

How it handles ATS

Single-column body with standard headings, so the text parses normally. The photo is decorative and carries no text — no parser depends on it.
