Designer note: why Highlight exists
Highlight adds a subtle background tint to section header text - barely visible but enough to chunk the page on a skim read. It's a small move that helps candidates with dense employment history make their resume scannable without sacrificing the traditional aesthetic.
Bullets that read well in Highlight
These are the kind of lines this template's spacing and typography were built for. The note under each explains why the rhythm fits.
Senior Audit Manager, [Big-4 Firm]. Led the audit programme for 6 FTSE-250 clients. Delivered 22 unqualified opinions across the 2022-2024 cycle.
The tinted section headers let a multi-client audit history read as organised, not repetitive.

Questions about the Highlight template
Is the tint distracting?
Tuned to be visible at skim, invisible at read. The default tint is conservative. If you want it less visible, drop opacity in the colour picker.
