Byline resume template
Your career, reported like front-page news.
Byline treats your resume like a newspaper feature: your location opens as a dateline kicker, your name sets huge under a double rule, and a proper "By" byline carries your contact details. Sections get journalistic kicker-and-headline treatment, and your summary opens with a classic drop cap. It is storytelling structure applied to a career — and it makes recruiters want to keep reading.

Will Byline pass applicant tracking systems?
Single-column, real text, conventional headings — parsing is clean. The journalistic kickers are styled text, not images, so nothing is lost to parsers.
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 Byline template
Is a journalism-style resume right for non-media roles?
The structure reads as narrative confidence in any field — it suits marketers, founders, and communicators of every kind.
Does the drop cap break text selection?
No — it is a styled first letter of real text, fully selectable and parseable.
Can I remove the dateline?
The dateline only appears when you have a location in your profile; leave location blank and it disappears.
