Which template should I choose?

  • Applying through online portals? Pick anything from ATS-Optimized, or a one-column design without a photo. Single-column layouts with standard headings are the easiest for applicant tracking systems to read.
  • Sending your resume directly to a person? Aesthetic / Creative and Two-Column designs make a strong visual first impression.
  • Senior, academic or just starting out? Executive templates lead with experience, Academic ones make room for research and publications, and Student layouts put education and projects first.
  • Printing it? Avoid the dark templates, which use a lot of ink. Everything else prints cleanly on A4 or US Letter.
