How to choose a template

Start with how your resume will be read.

Applying through job portals?

Pick a one-column template marked ATS-friendly. Portals often pass your file through parsing software before anyone reads it.

Sending it straight to a person?

Two-column and color designs are a good choice when you know a human reads it first, for example after a referral.

Long career or academic record?

Grid fits more on each page. Scholar keeps publications, teaching and grants easy to scan.

Template questions

Which templates work best with applicant tracking systems?

Single-column templates with standard headings are the safest: Linen, Ledger, Folio, Vellum, Quill, Mono, Scholar and First. Two-column designs work with most modern systems but carry a little more risk with older ones.

Can I change templates after I start writing?

Yes. Your content is stored separately from the design, so you can switch templates as often as you like without retyping anything.

Do the templates come in A4 and US Letter?

Both. Choose the paper size in the design settings and the layout adjusts automatically.
