Midnight template
Midnight: an executive resume template with a dark banner
A dark navy banner with your name and headline in white, then two columns: leadership experience in the wider one, skills, education and certifications in the other.
What this layout looks like
- Layout: Dark banner · two columns.
- Banner header: people see it as designed, but some applicant tracking systems read columns out of order, so the app labels it “Design · limited ATS”.
- Part of Premium.
- Download as PDF or Word, free on every plan.
- No photo slot, which suits most US and UK applications.
Who it is for
For senior and leadership roles that want a bold first impression in a printed pack or an introduction email.
A leadership resume that lands
- Open each role with scope: people, budget, sites or markets.
- Keep the last fifteen years detailed and earlier roles brief.
- Add board and advisory roles as their own section.

Questions about this template
Is a two-column resume bad for applicant tracking systems?
Some tracking systems read columns out of order, which is why the app labels this layout “Design · limited ATS”. For a resume a person reads first (a referral, an email, a printout) it is fine; for online applications, switch to a one-column template. Your content stays the same.
Is there a one-column executive template?
Yes: Executive is one column and better for online applications; Midnight suits a printed pack or a direct introduction.
How long should it be?
Two pages is common for senior roles. Preview shows exactly how many pages the PDF runs to.
