Resume Templates

Twenty-two templates. Actually different.

Most builders sell the same template in ten colours. These are twenty-two templates across eight genuinely different structures: clean single-column layouts built to parse cleanly, plus bolder designed ones, each rendering your content live and exporting exactly what you see.

The templates

One resume, 22 real templates.

Every preview here is the actual template rendering the same content, from the same engine that builds and exports your file. What you see is what downloads.

Template 1 of 22

Modern

Left-aligned, clean sans, accent tab headings. The contemporary default.

WYSIWYG

The preview is the PDF.

The same engine renders your live preview and your exported file, so there are no surprises at download time. Switch templates any time, your content reflows instantly, and the accent colour is a separate choice on top.

Questions

Common questions.

Which template is safest for ATS?
Classic, Modern, and Timeline are single-column and the safest: the structure reads cleanly so your text lands in the right fields. Sidebar, Compact, and Header band use columns or a styled header that look sharper but a strict parser can read out of order, so favour the single-column three for ATS-heavy applications, especially in traditional fields like law, finance, or government.
Will my PDF look exactly like the preview?
Yes. One engine renders the live preview and the exported file, so what you see is what downloads, down to the spacing. There is no separate export template that drifts from the screen.
Can I switch templates after I have written everything?
Anytime, as often as you like. Your content and the layout are fully separate, so switching reflows the same words into a new structure instantly. Nothing is retyped.
Can I change the colours?
Yes. Every template takes any accent colour, or none at all for pure black and white. The accent sits on top of the structure as a separate choice.
Can I keep my resume to one page?
The builder auto-fits your content and shows the page count live. If you are slightly over, it tightens spacing to hold one page; if there is genuinely too much, it tells you and moves you to two pages cleanly instead of cramming. You can also switch between A4, US Letter, and A3.
Are any of these too creative for a conservative employer?
Classic, Modern, and Timeline are single-column and safe for any industry, including conservative ones. Sidebar, Compact, and Header band add visual structure with columns or a styled header, so they look great for design, product, and startup roles; if you are worried about an older ATS, switch to one of the single-column three. Pick the tone that fits where you are applying.
Should my resume include a photo?
The templates look polished with a headshot or without one. As a rule, leave it off for ATS-heavy US, UK, and Canadian applications, and add it only where local hiring norms expect it.
Do I have to build each template from scratch?
No. Every template fills itself from your Career Story, so you write your experience once and any layout is ready in seconds. Trying a different one is a single click, not a rewrite.
What do I download, and can I edit it later?
A print-ready PDF that ATS systems read as clean text, not an image. Your content stays in your account, so you can re-edit, re-tailor for a new job, and re-export any time.
