Classic Resume Template
Clean, Traditional Layout That ATS Systems Love
The Classic template uses a single-column layout with centered headers, clean section dividers, and traditional formatting. It is the safest choice for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) because it avoids columns, graphics, and non-standard fonts. Recruiters and hiring managers are familiar with this format, so your content takes center stage.
