Choose a layout for the application.
A template should make your experience easier to understand. Pick a layout that accommodates your content without shrinking the text or hiding important information.
For online application forms
Start with a simple layout and standard headings such as Experience, Education and Skills. Check any fields the employer auto-fills after upload; parsing differs between systems. No template guarantees acceptance by every applicant tracking system.
For direct sharing
A sidebar or timeline can make a useful visual overview. Check that the reading order remains clear when you copy the PDF text, and review every page before sending.
When an employer asks for Word
Use Classic Professional for editable Word export. All templates shown here support PDF. Follow the file format requested in the job application.
Start with the right content.

Are the templates and downloads free?
Yes. Resume creation and supported PDF and Word downloads are free. Create a free candidate account to save and export. Paid certification and practice credits are separate.
Are these real candidate resumes?
No. Every preview uses the same fictional sample to make layouts easy to compare. Sample names, employers and achievements are illustrative and should be replaced with your own information.
Can I switch templates later?
Yes. You can change the template in the builder and review the updated preview. Check page breaks, section order and export availability after switching.
Can I use a template for a non-technical role?
Yes. Replace the sample with your own role, experience, skills and education. The examples are technical, but the editable sections are useful across professions.
