Simple resume template

A simple resume template works when the content should be the focus and the recruiter needs to understand experience, education and skills quickly.

When simple is best

Choose a simple template for traditional industries, public sector roles, healthcare, education or whenever experience should take center stage.

Prioritize order

Start with summary and experience when they are strongest. Move education higher when it is the strongest match for the role.

Avoid unnecessary design

Color and detail should support reading. If design distracts from the content, the template is doing too much.
