Overview

Herald gives every heading a bar in your accent color with white text. The left sidebar holds your name, photo, contact details, skills, certifications and languages; the main column holds your summary, experience and education.

It's bold and easy to scan, which suits marketing, communications and brand roles, where a resume is also a sample of your taste.
