When to choose it
For master's and PhD applications, sabbaticals, faculty posts and teaching at a university or school. In these resumes education, publications, research projects and teaching matter more than work history, and this template has an orderly place for each of them. A long list of papers and conferences stays tidy, and a two-page CV stays in order. Skills appear as plain tags without levels. Our teacher sample is shown in this template first, and you can reorder the sections so education and research come first.
When to pick another one
For sales, marketing and creative jobs it looks too dry, and their strong point, results and numbers, stands out less. If you have no papers or research and mostly work experience, Classic gives the same formality with the focus on your jobs.
Every template lets you choose colors, fonts, photo and section order, and you can switch templates at any time without losing anything.
