Good Looking and Readable.

Design only matters if the ATS can still read your resume. Every template exports as a real text PDF, keeps a clear reading order and uses standard section names underneath the styling.

  • Real, selectable text in the PDF
  • Standard section headings
  • One clear reading order
  • No text hidden in images

How to choose

Which Template Should You Use?

There's no single best resume template. The right one depends on your field, your experience and where you're applying. Here's a quick guide.

Applying through big company portals

Choose Minimalist Tech or Compact One-Page. Single columns are the safest for any ATS.

Experienced professional or manager

Executive Modern puts your experience first and your skills in a tidy sidebar.

Senior leader

Luxury Executive or Corporate Classic look polished and formal without clutter.

Developer, designer or creative role

Creative Developer, DevOps Architect or Two-Tone Sidebar show a bit of personality.

Student or career changer

Compact One-Page keeps a shorter history focused and easy to skim.

Applying abroad? Check the resume format for your country too: photos, personal details and length change a lot between countries.

Are the resume templates free?

10 of the 45 templates are free forever, including Executive Modern, Minimalist Tech, Corporate Classic, Harbor and Clarity. Pro unlocks all 45, every one of the 13 country formats and the AI tools.

Are these templates ATS-friendly?

Yes. Every template exports a text-based PDF with standard section headings and a logical reading order. For the strictest application portals, a single-column template like Minimalist Tech is the safest choice.

Can I switch templates after I start writing?

Any time. Your content is saved separately from the design, so switching templates or colors never loses a word.

Can I add a photo to my resume?

Yes, on the Pro plan. Whether you should depends on the country: photos are expected in Germany or the Gulf but best left off in the US, UK and Canada. CVHancer sets a sensible default for each country.

What format do I download?

A PDF that looks exactly like the preview and keeps your text selectable. The free plan adds a small watermark; Pro removes it. You can also copy a plain-text version.
