Cornerstone resume template
A cream right sidebar beside a classic serif main column.
Cornerstone is old-school confidence: a bold serif name opens the main column, followed by formal sections with classic ruled headers, while a cream right sidebar quietly holds contact, inline skills, and references. The cream panel softens the formality just enough to feel human. It is a natural fit for law, academia, finance, and senior leadership — fields where tradition still carries weight.

Will Cornerstone pass applicant tracking systems?
A traditional layout with real text throughout. The cream sidebar parses normally, and the main column follows a conventional top-to-bottom flow that parsers handle well.
