Arsenal resume template
Skills-first layout built for career changers.
Arsenal leads with what you can do, not where you have been. A Core Competencies grid of skill pills opens the resume, followed by Selected Achievements — every bullet from your experience, flattened into one punchy list — then a compact one-line-per-role Employment History and your education. It is the functional resume done right: built for career changers, generalists, and anyone whose skills outshine their job titles.

Will Arsenal pass applicant tracking systems?
Functional layouts need care with parsers: Arsenal keeps company names and dates as real text in the employment history, and standard headings throughout. Include a chronological work history (it is there) so parsers can build your timeline.
Every Cvyon template exports through your browser's print-to-PDF, so the text layer stays selectable and searchable — the thing parsers actually read. After downloading, run your resume through our free ATS grader to confirm it scores well before you apply.

Questions about the Arsenal template
Is a skills-first resume risky for ATS?
Pure functional resumes can be. Arsenal hedges: it leads with skills but still includes a real employment history with companies and dates, which is what parsers need.
Who should use Arsenal?
Career changers, freelancers, and generalists — anyone whose strongest story is competency, not a tidy chronological ladder.
Where do my job bullets go?
Every bullet from your experience entries is gathered into Selected Achievements automatically, so nothing you wrote is lost.
