Classic Professional Resume Template
The safest resume you can send. One column, serif section headings, and a strict top-to-bottom reading order that every applicant tracking system handles without complaint. When you do not know who or what is reading your resume first, send this one.
Who Classic Professional suits
- Corporate and administrative roles
- Government and public sector
- Applications through large job boards
- Anyone unsure which template to pick
What makes this layout different
- Single column with clearly labelled sections
- Serif headings with a plain sans-serif body
- Right-aligned dates that stay aligned across pages
- No graphics, columns, or tables for a parser to misread
How it handles ATS
Single-column top-to-bottom flow, which is the structure applicant tracking systems parse most reliably. Standard section headings, real selectable text, no text trapped in images.
