Which Resume Layout fits your Career Stage?
Different career paths require different visual hierarchies. Choosing the correct format ensures your strongest assets (Skills vs. Experience) are seen first.
🎓 The "Functional" Format
Best for: Freshers, Students, Career Changers.
Focuses on Skills and Education rather than work history. Use our Simple or Basic templates to highlight coursework and projects over gaps in employment.
👔 The "Reverse-Chronological" Format
Best for: Experienced Professionals, Managers.
The gold standard for corporate roles. Lists your most recent job first. Our Professional and Modern templates follow this structure to showcase career progression clearly.
🎨 The "Creative" Format
Best for: Designers, Marketers, Startups.
Features accent colors and unique headers to show personality. Our ATS-friendly Creative templates ensure you look distinct without confusing the scanning software.
PDF vs. Word Resume Templates: Which to Download?
When you finish customizing your design, you have two download options. Here is how to choose:
- picture_as_pdf Download as PDF (Recommended): Best for submitting online. It locks your formatting so fonts and margins look exactly the same on every recruiter's screen.
- description Download as Word (DOCX): Best if you need to make manual edits later or if a specific legacy ATS requires a .doc file.
