Blackwell — creative resume template

Black header band with a marigold rule. For brand, design and creative leads.

Blackwell is one of 22 free résumé templates in PaperKit, the no-login résumé builder from CodeSierra. It is free to use and free to download as a PDF — no account, no watermark and nothing to pay — and it prints to A4 or US Letter. Blackwell is a showcase layout, so send it where a person reads your résumé first and keep an ATS-safe template for job portals. You fill it in as a form with the real PDF rendering beside you, and switching to any other template carries your content across untouched.

Questions about Blackwell

Is the Blackwell resume template free?
Yes. Blackwell is free — no login, no watermark and nothing to pay at the download step. You can edit it in your browser and download the PDF straight away. Every PaperKit template is free the same way, in all four makers: there is no premium set and nothing to unlock.
Is Blackwell ATS-friendly?
Blackwell is a Showcase layout: it uses a full-bleed colour header band and a photo slot, which some applicant tracking systems parse poorly. Use it when a person will read your resume first, and switch to an ATS-first template for automated applications — your content carries over.
Can I switch away from Blackwell later?
Yes. Templates are a design layer over your content, so you can change template at any point inside the editor without retyping or losing a single line.
