    Modern

    Sans-serif, name on the left, one colored rule under the header and colored section headings.

    Good for
    Most applications: technology, marketing, operations, customer service, administration.
    Skip it for
    Very conservative fields where a serif page is the norm; use Executive there.

    Executive

    Serif type, centered header and centered headings: the classic letter look.

    Good for
    Law, finance, consulting, healthcare, academia, public sector and senior management.
    Skip it for
    Short resumes with little text: the centered header makes an almost empty page look emptier. Minimal handles that better.

    Minimal

    Wide margins, a light-weight name and small colored headings with no rules.

    Good for
    First jobs, internships, career changes and anyone with half a page of content.
    Skip it for
    Long careers: the wide margins and line spacing cost about four lines per page compared with Modern, and each line holds less text.

    Compact

    Nine-point type, narrow margins and job title, company and dates on a single line.

    Good for
    Ten or more years of experience, technical profiles with many projects, anyone told to “keep it to one page”.
    Skip it for
    Short resumes, and readers who will print it: 9-point text is at the lower limit of comfortable reading on paper.

What the four templates share

One column. Two-column layouts look tidy on screen, but many screening tools read a page line by line, left to right, and blend the sidebar into the main text. Here the order in the file is the order you see.

Text, not pictures. No phone icons, skill bars or photo. A parser extracts nothing from an image, and a bar showing “80% Excel” tells a recruiter nothing they can verify.

Standard fonts. Helvetica and Times are part of the PDF format itself. The file stays small and opens the same on any computer or phone.

Color as accent only. Color is used for headings and rules. Printed in black and white the resume stays readable, because no information depends on it.

Why use ResumeStudio

No account, no payment step
There is no sign-up, login or checkout anywhere in this site. “Download PDF” builds the file in your browser and saves it.
A PDF made of text, not a picture
Every line is written with the standard PDF fonts. You can select and copy it, and so can resume-reading software. An automated test extracts the text from the generated file.
The preview is the file
One layout engine positions each line for both the on-screen sheet and the PDF, so line breaks and page count are the same in both.
One column, no tables or text boxes
All four templates run top to bottom in a single column and section headings have no letter-spacing, so the reading order in the file is the order you see.
Your data stays in this browser
The resume is saved in localStorage and exported as a JSON file when you ask. “Erase everything” is in the File menu.
A checklist that says what it checks
Thirteen plain items such as “every job has a start date”. The job comparison lists the posting’s terms found and not found. Neither is called a score.

Frequently asked questions

Which template should I choose?

Pick by length and field. Modern suits most applications. Executive, with serif type, fits law, finance, academia and senior roles. Minimal works when you have little text and want air on the page. Compact is for long careers that must stay on one page.

Are these templates readable by applicant tracking systems?

They are built to be: one column, no tables, no text boxes, no images, standard fonts, and headings without letter-spacing. We cannot promise how a specific system behaves, so we do not show a compatibility score.

Can I change template after writing the resume?

Yes. Template, accent color and section order are settings of the document; switching them keeps every word you typed.

Can I add a photo?

No. The templates have no photo slot. In the United States, United Kingdom and Canada photos are discouraged, and resume parsers ignore images.
