Which resume template should I choose?

It depends on the type of job you’re applying to, company values, and work environment.

Most of our templates are quite universal and you can't go terribly wrong with any of them. Despite that, you should probably take a moment to think about what kind of image you want to project.

In most cases that comes down to choosing between traditional and creative designs.

When to use a traditional resume design?

  • If you’re applying for a relatively formal profession. This mostly applies to typically non-creative fields like finance, consulting, law, academia, healthcare and government. Employers in these industries usually ask for neat resumes that look professional above else.

  • It allows you to maintain high readability. It helps you demonstrate your achievements and experience very effectively.

When to use a creative resume design?

  • Companies that welcome creativity are usually more open to customized job applications. If you’re hoping to score for a position in fashion, marketing, design or arts, a creative resume template is the way to go.

  • Using an unusual resume design is a great way to stand out from the crowd, especially when you’re aiming for a position that values creativity or interactive skills.
