Rail resume template
A thin accent rail with a timeline experience section.
Rail is minimalism with a spine: a slim theme-colored bar runs down the left edge of the page while your experience unfolds as a dot timeline — each role anchored to the rail with a marker, dates, and clean bullets. Your name sits huge at the top with wide letter-spaced section titles. It reads as calm and confident, with just enough structure to guide the eye down your career story.

Will Rail pass applicant tracking systems?
Fully single-column with standard headings, so parsing is clean. The timeline dots are pure decoration — dates sit in text next to each role, exactly where parsers expect them.
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 Rail template
Does the timeline format hurt ATS parsing?
No. The dots are decorative CSS; every role, company, and date is plain text in a normal single-column flow.
Is Rail good for long work histories?
Yes — the timeline structure actually helps long histories stay scannable, since each role is visually separated along the rail.
Can I change the rail color?
Yes, the rail follows your Cvyon theme color, so it adapts to any accent you choose.
