Making a modern template work

Keep color to one accent

Choose one color and let it mark headings or rules. The builder has 24, and you can try them all on the same page.

Watch the rating

Some modern designs carry tags, bands or a second column. If you apply through job portals, Folio, Mono and Dispatch are rated ATS-friendly.

Let the content lead

A modern look raises expectations: pair it with specific results, current tools and a short summary.

Questions

What makes a resume template modern?

Clean type, generous white space, a confident name and restrained color. Modern does not have to mean graphics: tags and icons are extras, not the point.

Are modern templates right for conservative industries?

A restrained one is. Folio or Dispatch would not look out of place at a bank; keep the bolder designs for creative and tech roles.

Do modern templates work with applicant tracking systems?

Most do. Each template shows its rating, and one-column designs with standard headings are the safest.
