About the Cypress template
Cypress is a one-column resume with a photo, set in a serif on a white page. A round photo sits at the top left beside the name in bold teal, and under the name the contact details run in three short lines, where you are from and live, how to reach you, then your links, each field led by its label in bold. Every heading, a section you add included, is a small teal label centred between two thin teal rules that reach the margins. Each role gives the title in bold over the employer and a small bold line with the dates and the city, then bullet points, and each degree leads with its subject. Certifications read as a bold name over the issuer and the date, skills are bold names three to a row, and a list you add, such as strengths, runs along one line divided by thin bars. It suits communications, healthcare and office roles where a calm, readable page matters more than decoration.
