Bordeaux Sidebar Resume Template

What makes the Bordeaux Sidebar design stand out

Bordeaux leads with a serif name in EB Garamond and wide-tracked, wine-coloured section headings, set against a warm cream page rather than stark white. The deep bordeaux accent (a rich oxblood) carries through the rules and your titles, while a muted green is reserved for metrics so your numbers quietly stand out. The effect is classic and considered — the kind of resume that reads as senior and self-assured rather than flashy.

The layout splits into a soft rose left sidebar for contact details and skills and a roomy main column for your experience. That separation keeps the page calm and scannable: a recruiter sees who you are and what you can do on the left, and your story top-to-bottom on the right. Generous spacing and a Jost sans for body text keep everything legible at a glance.

Who it's best for

Bordeaux fits roles where polish and personality both matter — warm enough for client-facing work, classic enough for traditional industries.

• Consultants, account managers, and client-facing professionals
• Marketing and brand specialists who want tasteful colour
• Sales and business-development professionals
• Product managers who want a senior, considered look
• Operations, HR, and people leaders in established companies

Why it's ATS-friendly

Despite the colour and serif styling, Bordeaux is built from real, selectable text and standard section headings — nothing is baked into an image. The left sidebar isn't a graphic; it's a readable column of contact details and skills that an applicant tracking system parses as plain text alongside the main experience column. With clean structure, standard fonts, and consistent date formats, your experience and skills come through to the parser exactly as written.
