Who Diamond Elite suits
- Finance and corporate leaders who want a clean, spacious sidebar layout
- People with a short list of core competencies and a substantial summary
What works well
- Generous spacing in the main column; the boxed summary stands out.
- Competencies appear as compact tags, which suits short labels like "M&A" or "Risk".
What to watch out for
- The preview image shows empty placeholder sections; judge the template by its structure, not the sample text.
- Two columns: keep a text-based copy for portals.
How this layout reads
A coloured sidebar holds contact details, skills and similar short items; the wider main column holds your summary and experience. It is visually organised, but the sidebar is narrow, so keep entries short — and remember that two columns are less predictable for software that extracts text.
Suggested section order
- Contact details and current title
- Executive summary: scope, sectors, headline results
- Key achievements (three or four)
- Professional experience, most recent first, with a scope line per role
- Core competencies
- Education, certifications and board or advisory roles
You can hide any section you do not need in the builder.
Tips for this template
- Keep competency tags to one or two words each; longer phrases break the tag shape.
- Use the colour picker to change the accent colour; darker shades print more reliably.
When to choose a different template
- Choose Sapphire Elite for a similar blue sidebar with education in the sidebar (Premium).
- Choose Titanium Executive for a single-column body (Premium).
Before you start
- Write or paste your content into a separate document first — the builder does not save your entries if you close the tab.
- Open the template, fill in each section and check the live preview beside the form.
- Download the PDF. If you are uploading to a job portal that reads your file, also prepare a text-based version (see formatting a resume software can read).
Questions about this template
Is Diamond Elite free?
You can open, fill in and preview it without paying. Downloading the PDF needs the Premium (₹199 for 30 days) or Unlimited (₹499 one-time) plan.
Does the downloaded PDF have selectable text?
No. The PDF download from our builder is image-based: it reproduces the design exactly, but the text cannot be selected or copied. That is fine for emailing a person or printing. For job portals that read the text out of your upload, keep a text-based copy of your resume as well, or type your details into the portal's form.
Is my resume saved if I close the page?
No. The builder works in your browser and does not save your entries to an account. Keep your text in a separate document and download the PDF before you close the tab.
Do I have to add a photo?
No. The photo area is part of this design, but you can leave it empty. For most jobs in India, the US, the UK, Canada and Australia a photo is not expected; if you will not use one, a template designed without a photo area usually looks better.
