Meridian resume template
A dark theme sidebar with skill meters beside a crisp main column.
Meridian puts a dark theme-colored sidebar on the right and your story on the left: a bold black name, your title in the accent color, and a clean experience column. The sidebar carries contact, education, and skill proficiency meters rendered as sleek white bars. The contrast between the dark panel and the light main column gives the page a confident, contemporary edge without sacrificing readability.

Will Meridian pass applicant tracking systems?
The dark sidebar uses real text over a solid fill, so contact details and skills parse normally. Experience sits in a single left column with standard headings for reliable parsing.
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 Meridian template
How are the skill meter levels determined?
The meters give each skill a visual weight so recruiters can scan your strengths at a glance. List your strongest skills first for the best effect.
Does the dark sidebar use too much ink when printed?
It can — for printing, choose a lighter theme color or export and print in grayscale. On screen and as a PDF, it looks sharp.
Will the right sidebar confuse applicant tracking systems?
All text is real and selectable. Keep job titles and employers in the left main column, which older parsers read first.
