What Timeline does well

  • Grey vertical line with a blue dot beside each job, qualification, project and award
  • Dates printed in blue above each title rather than off to the side
  • Navy name and headings, with a bright blue rule under the header
  • Skills as rows, with the category in navy on the left
  • Generous space between entries, which keeps each step distinct

Content
Written for the posting you paste in

Upload your CV and paste a job posting. The Studio writes the content for that role, scores it against the posting, and lays it out in Timeline.

How Timeline is laid out

In Timeline, a navy name, a line of contact details and the summary sit above a bright blue rule at the top of a one-column A4 page. Work experience, education, projects and awards each hang off a thin grey vertical line: every entry gets a blue dot, a blue date where there is one, then the title, the organisation and any bullet points.

Who it suits

  • Steady careers where each role builds on the last
  • Several promotions at one employer, which show up as consecutive steps
  • Graduates whose degree and internships follow on neatly from each other
  • Project managers and consultants who want dates to be easy to find

Good to know

  • Because every entry opens with its dates, gaps between jobs are easy to spot; if your history has breaks, a layout with dates at the right margin, such as Classic, draws less attention to them.
  • Each entry carries extra space above and below, so this template reaches a second page sooner than most.
  • Projects appear on the line without dates, and the contact row stops at your website, with no LinkedIn.
