What defines this layout
- 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 Rosewood as a CV
Rosewood works as a British or Australian CV as it stands, where CV and resume name the same two-page document. The second column is the thing to check before sending: copy the text out of the exported PDF and confirm it reads in a sensible order.
It sits at a normal density, which lands most histories on the two pages a non-academic CV is expected to fit.

Is Rosewood the right choice?
Who it suits
Design, beauty and events work. Dusty pink under a serif name is warm without reading as unserious.
What it does to ATS parsing
Two columns with the shorter sections on the right, under a tinted band. Both are fills.
At two pages
The band does not repeat, so the second page loses most of the colour.
Use something else if
Camellia for the colour down the side instead, or Chevron for a grey version.
