Geoffrey’s favorite template

Modern

The Aesthetic Resume Template

general thoughts

Although I talk up the “Connery” template in my YouTube video, the “Aesthetic” resume template is the new hotness.

favorite points

Clean, professional header that utilizes an aesthetic color gradient
Multicolor subheadings help make each section stand out
Work experience is the most emphasized section (and what I care most about as a hiring manager)
No skills bars (not a big fan of skills bars personally)
Template stands out visually
Template is organized nicely from a content perspective
