A Modern Executive Resume Template Built for Strategic Storytelling
The Bold Solutions Modern Executive Resume Template uses a traditional layout made modern by a structure that encourages a focus on challenges, actions, and results. With lots of room to call out both accomplishments and keywords, Bold Solutions is a great choice as a modern executive resume template suitable for executives, experienced professionals, board of director candidates, and others.
The best professional resumes tell a story of career success and potential. A common technique used by professional resume writers is to focus in the resume content on the situation, problem, or challenge, the action taken to meet those challenges or solve those problems, and the results of those actions (known as the CAR approach to resume writing)
Stories make your resume compelling to read and memorable and make it easy for the prospective employer to relate to the benefits and value you would deliver if they were to hire you for their company. Many modern executive resume templates make it hard to fit your story into the rigid structure provided. This is not the case with Bold Solutions. The layout of the Bold Solutions modern executive resume template will help you to document your experience in challenge, action, result in a storytelling format.
The Bold Solutions resume template also uses other design techniques that help call out the key points of the resume, including the shaded boxes that emphasize and draw the eye to your value proposition and major contributions in each recent position.
The red and black color scheme was chosen intentionally to be bold and eye-catching. These colors convey brand traits such as strength, energy, vibrant, dynamic, confidence, authority, power, and control. This makes them ideal colors to use on a modern resume template intended for executives.
However, with just a few mouse clicks you can change the entire look and feel of Bold Solutions by changing the color theme. Instructions on how to do this are provided. Here are just some of the many color options:

WHAT OUR TEMPLATE USERS SAY
Appearances matter, even with the written word, and how a document looks can make an immediate impact on the decision to read it or toss it aside. I train and mentor many excellent resume writers who have mastered the art of crafting highly effective resume content, but who lack the basic MS Word skills to create eye-catching, ATS compatible and uniquely branded documents. Distinctive Templates are the perfect solution for easily transforming well-written content into works of art that capture attention, generate interest, and motivate the recipient to read every word.
When I was starting out with resume writing a little over a year ago, one of the most intimidating aspects was visual design of resumes. I didn’t want to have to learn graphic design to stand out—and with these templates, I didn’t need to! I was a little hesitant at first because I thought the templates might be too rigid or generic. In actuality, they are incredibly flexible and easy to play around with. I can customize any template with my client’s favorite colors in just two clicks—which means they never look exactly the same, even if I use them for multiple clients. Using the templates means I can just do what I do best—write—and then plug the text right into the appropriate section. It saves me literal HOURS of work and hassle. One of the best parts about purchasing from Michelle is that she is extremely responsive to questions. There’s a private Facebook group where she records screen share tutorials about how to switch up certain elements in the templates, and she’s always been responsive to my emailed questions. My clients are completely thrilled with the unique, modern design of their resume, and I’m thrilled that I’m saving time and don’t have to learn graphic design!
I love Michelle’s resume templates! The designs are eye-catching and easy to use. I highly recommend these templates for anyone who finds that designing a creative, contemporary formatted resume is a challenge. They’re a huge time-saver.
I used the “Pivot” template to create a combination functional/chronological resume for my first big client. Her words when she saw the finished product: “THIS IS AMAZING!” I’m a writer, not a designer. My resumes aren’t unprofessional, but they needed a “wow” factor – and now they have it. Thank you, Michelle, for offering such affordably priced tools!
While I primarily write resumes from scratch for each of my clients, I have also used Michelle’s templates and received great feedback. I find the templates are especially helpful to organize my thinking for those clients who have an overabundance of important information that still must fit in an ATS-friendly, 2-page format without looking cluttered or disorganized.
Michelle, your templates are wonderful! You are so creative, and I especially love the templates for specialized career industries! I just used Global Impact for an executive with extensive global work and living experience, Driving Growth for a successful sales director, and Agricultural Edge for a seasoned landscape professional — they all absolutely loved the unique, contemporary look of their new resumes. Thank you so much for providing this service within our industry. You are so talented, and I greatly appreciate our connection and the creativity your templates bring to my client engagements!
