Forest Panel CV template

A deep forest-green sidebar with your photo, contact details, profile and skills, and a completely uncoloured main column. Green is rare on a CV and reads as calm rather than corporate — it works particularly well for sustainability, healthcare, education and charity roles, and it uses far less toner than a dark navy panel. Languages are written out in words rather than scored with dots. Best at one to two pages: the green panel only paints the first page.
