Skipper resume & CV template
A navy band carrying a round photo with the dates stepped down their own column beneath. Tidy and nautical.

What defines this layout
- Sans-serif typeface
- Single column
- Includes an avatar or photo
- Headings with no rule
- Dates in their own left column
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 Skipper as a CV
Skipper carries a photo, which is what a continental European CV expects alongside the personal details a British one leaves out. For the UK, Ireland or Australia, turn the photo off in Customize — the layout closes up around it and the rest of the page is unchanged.
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 Skipper the right choice?
Who it suits
Tidy photographic pages with a long dated history and no sidebar to run out.
What it does to ATS parsing
Single column with a filled band and dates in their own column. Safe.
At two pages
Strong. The date column keeps working after the band is gone.
Use something else if
Cygnus for a deeper navy, or Cascade for a brighter one.
