How to choose the right resume template

Simple & ATS-friendly

Best for large companies and online application portals. One clear column that every applicant tracking system can read.

Modern two-column

Great for tech, marketing and creative roles. Skills and languages sit in a side column so your experience stands out.

With photo

Use when a photo is expected in your country or industry – for example many European and Asian employers.
