Classic Resume Template
The Classic template is the safest pick when you have no idea what an ATS will throw at your resume. One column. Standard headings. No tables, no boxes, no clever tricks — just the parts of your career, in the order recruiters expect to read them.

Who it's for
- •Anyone applying to large or traditional companies (consulting, finance, law, healthcare, government).
- •Career changers who want the writing to do the work, not the design.
- •Senior roles where credibility matters more than visual flair.
Watch out for
- !If your industry expects portfolio-style resumes (design, creative agencies), this is conservative — consider a sidebar template.
- !The Classic has no photo block. Add one only if your target country actually expects photos (most of Europe — yes; US — no).
