Sunset Resume Template (2026)
The Sunset template brings warmth and personality through a two-column layout with a warm-toned sidebar. The sidebar contains skills, languages, and key attributes while the main column focuses on work experience and accomplishments. Warm orange and gold tones create an inviting, approachable aesthetic while maintaining professionalism. This template works well for professionals in people-facing roles, creative industries, and organizations valuing personality alongside qualifications.

What Makes the Sunset Template Stand Out
ATS Compatibility
FairThis template prioritizes visual impact while maintaining functional ATS compatibility. Most modern applicant tracking systems handle it well, though heavily styled elements may be simplified during parsing. If you’re applying to companies known to use older ATS software, consider pairing this with a plainer version for the initial submission.
Two-column layouts are well-supported by modern ATS. The main content column is always parsed first, ensuring your experience and achievements lead. Sidebar content (skills, contact info) follows naturally.
- Best suited for roles where visual presentation matters: design, marketing, creative, and startup environments.
- For maximum compatibility, submit a simpler template version through ATS portals and use this template for direct emails or portfolio submissions.
- Core content (experience, education, skills) still parses correctly — visual styling is what may be simplified.
Customization Tips
Choose accent colors that reflect your personal brand, but limit yourself to one or two to maintain professionalism.
Test your color choices in both light and dark contexts — some colors that look great on screen print poorly.
Balance bold header colors with neutral body text. The color should guide the eye, not overwhelm it.
For conservative industries, dial back the saturation. A muted version of a bold color can feel both distinctive and appropriate.
