A well-designed resume template can save time and ensure information is properly organized, easy to read, and professionally designed.
Modern templates boast sleek designs that include pops of color, ample white space and clear section headings, making them eye-catching and easy to read by both applicant tracking systems (ATS) — which scan resumes for keyword relevance — and judicious employers.
Modern resume templates are best for job applicants who:
Want to exude a sleek yet professional image.
Want to show they are forward-thinking, up-to-date and on trend.
Work in industries such as technology, sales, retail, media, architecture, fitness and marketing.
Modern resume templates are not well-suited for job seekers who:
Work in conservative or traditional fields such as medicine, law and finance. Job seekers in those fields should opt for a professional template instead.
Are in creative fields such as painting, design, entertainment. We recommend creative templates for those applicants.
Want a bare-bones resume style.
