How to choose the right resume template

The best template is the one that gets out of the way of your achievements. If you work in a conservative industry such as banking, law or the public sector, a single-column layout like Classic is the safest choice. For technology, product and marketing roles, Modern uses a sidebar to keep your skills visible at a glance without hurting readability.

Whatever you pick, keep it to one page if you have under ten years of experience, use consistent date formats, and lead every bullet with a strong verb and a measurable result. Read our step-by-step resume writing guide for more.
