What defines this layout
- Sans-serif typeface
- Single column
- No photo
- Headings over a full-width rule
- Dates right-aligned against each role
Every one of these is a setting, not a constraint — accent colour, font, size, spacing and page margins stay yours under Customize, and switching template later re-renders what you’ve written rather than starting it over.
Using Beacon as a CV
Beacon needs nothing changed to serve as a UK, Irish or Australian CV — those markets mean by "CV" exactly what the US means by "resume", and this is already that document. Add a photo and personal details only if you are applying into continental Europe.
It sits at a normal density, which lands most histories on the two pages a non-academic CV is expected to fit.
More on the differences: CV templates and CV examples.
Is Beacon the right choice?
Who it suits
Marketing, product and startup roles where a page that looks designed is an advantage. The blue heading labels are the whole idea.
What it does to ATS parsing
Single column, which is the safe part. The labels are background fills behind real text, so they extract normally.
At two pages
The labels carry a second page well — they are the strongest section markers here short of a band.
Use something else if
Madrid for the same treatment in a bolder colour, or Cinder for a grey version.

Live preview, AI writing help, and an ATS-ready PDF. Free to start, and no card at any point.
