Portrait Resume Template

Portrait runs a full-width photo banner across the top of the page, with your name and title overlaid at the bottom edge inside a dark gradient for legibility. Without a photo, the banner falls back to a colour gradient with your initials centred in it. Everything below is a clean single column.

How the Portrait layout works

This is the template to reach for specifically because the photo is doing real work — it is the largest single element on the page, not a small square competing with a busy header, so it only earns its place when the photo itself is strong.

Columns
One, under a full-width photo banner
Photo
Yes, full-width banner (or gradient fallback)
Accent
Banner gradient and section labels
Best length
One page

Who Portrait suits

  • Markets and roles where a professional headshot on a resume is standard or expected
  • Hospitality, sales, front-of-house and client-facing roles
  • Applicants with a genuinely strong headshot who want it to lead the page

When to pick something else: Skip it for blind-screened applications, conservative fields, or markets where a photo on a resume is discouraged. Professional or Classic remove the question entirely.
