Why Leslie suits an airline customer service agent resume
Leslie prints a short summary, then Work Experience, then Skills and Education, under a centred header with one blue accent. Airline station managers hire agents on service record and reliability under time pressure, so experience first fits their reading.
Second choice: Meridian. Meridian puts skills first with no colour, useful if you are moving into airlines from another customer service job.
