Who this template suits
A traditional single-column layout that works for most roles and industries, including banking, operations, teaching, sales and general corporate jobs.
Recommended section order
Contact details, short professional summary, experience (or education for freshers), skills, projects or certifications, then extra sections such as languages.
Tips for filling it in
- Keep the summary to three or four lines naming your role, your strongest skills and what you want to do next.
- Write experience bullets that start with an action verb and, where you can, include a number or outcome.
- List education with the course, institute and year.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Long paragraphs instead of bullets.
- Photographs, tables and columns that confuse automated parsers.
- Including a skill you could not discuss in an interview.
Before you download
Read the resume aloud once and check that names, dates, phone number and email are correct. Save the file as PDF unless the employer asks for another format, and name it clearly, for example YourName-Role.pdf.
