Choosing

Which resume template should you use?

If you are applying in the United States or Canada, start with Professional or Minimal — both are single-column, photo-free and parse cleanly. Modern suits product, tech and marketing roles where a skills column helps a reader scan quickly. Executive is for senior applications where a strong opening summary carries most of the weight.

Your experience deserves a better page.
