Valor resume template
A disciplined resume that translates military service for civilian hiring.
Valor was made for veterans: your experience section is titled “Service Record”, skills become a “Transferable Skills” grid, and award-style markers keep achievements crisp. A double rule under the header — thick black over a thin accent line — gives it a formal, ceremonial feel, with an optional photo and zero gimmicks.

Will Valor pass applicant tracking systems?
Single column, real text, no graphics — parsing is clean. The distinctive labels are worth knowing about: “Service Record” contains your employment history and “Transferable Skills” your skills, which human readers in veteran-friendly programs understand immediately; fully automated keyword scans looking for the literal heading “Work Experience” are the only edge case, and most modern parsers match on content too.
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.
