Terrace resume & CV template
A tall square photo beside tinted heading bands, with every date in its own column. Orderly to the point of being restful.

What defines this layout
- Sans-serif typeface
- Single column
- Includes an avatar or photo
- Headings on a tinted bar
- 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 Terrace as a CV
Terrace 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 Terrace the right choice?
Who it suits
Long, orderly careers — the banded headings and the dated column together make a page that can be read by skimming the left edge.
What it does to ATS parsing
Single column, with bands that are fills rather than characters. Very safe.
At two pages
One of the best here at length. The structure does not depend on the header.
Use something else if
Marble for a cooler version, or Portico if you want the photo in a band.
