Classic resume template

How the Classic template is laid out

Your name sits centred at the top in a large bold weight, with your title underneath and every contact detail on one line separated by vertical bars. Section headings are set in small uppercase letters with wide spacing and a thin grey rule beneath them. Sections run Summary, Experience, Education, Skills and Projects, so a reader moves straight from what you do now to where you studied.

Who should use Classic?

Candidates applying through large job portals and government or PSU recruitment, where the person screening expects a conventional page. It also works for anyone who wants one safe resume to reuse across very different roles.

Is Classic ATS-friendly?

Everything is in one column and the reading order matches the visual order, so parsers extract your roles in sequence. Contact details are plain text in the body rather than a page header, which keeps your email and phone readable.

A writing tip for Classic

Because the page is plain, the words carry it. Start each bullet with a verb and end it with the result, and keep dates in one format so the right-aligned column lines up.
