Who the modern template suits
The modern template suits people in tech, customer success, marketing and start-ups, where a clear, current look matters as much as the job titles. Compare all templates if you want something quieter.
Lead each bullet with an action and a number: accounts managed, retention reached, time saved. The accent color highlights roles and headings, so keep bullets short and let the figures carry the weight.
Prefer a plain look for conservative employers? The classic ATS template uses a traditional serif design.
Modern ATS resume questions
Is this modern resume template ATS-friendly?
It uses real, selectable text and standard section headings. No template can guarantee how every employer's system reads a file, so check the job posting's instructions.
What should I put under core competencies?
Six to nine short skills taken from the job posting, such as customer onboarding, renewals or account expansion.
Is it suitable for a first job?
Yes. With few roles, put Education and Core Competencies up front and keep your summary to two lines.
Can I download it as Word?
Yes. Download a PDF or a Word file, in US Letter or A4, free and without creating an account.
How long should a modern resume be?
One page for under about ten years of experience. The editor shows page breaks as you write.
