Facet sets your name and photo on a band of angular, low-poly facets that shade from dark to light across the page. Below it is a tidy single column with triangle section markers, and later pages open with a slim strip of the same facets. It looks sharp and technical, a good fit for tech and sales roles.

Who the Facet template suits

Facet is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: a dark indigo header band of low-poly triangular facets with the name in white and a framed round photo, over a single column with triangle markers.

  • Tech
  • Sales
  • Product management
  • Marketing

Designed around a photo, which is common in much of mainland Europe, the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia. For the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland, switch the photo off: the layout still looks complete without it.

Is Facet ATS-friendly?

Yes. Facet keeps your content in one text column with standard section headings and no tables, so applicant tracking systems read it in order. The coloured header is only a background: your name and contact details are real text.

Whichever template you pick, download your PDF and run it through our free ATS checker to see the text a tracking system extracts.
