When to choose it

When you can't decide between plain and colorful. A wide colored band on the page edge and a thin line beside each section add a little color, while the body stays a simple single column. Your photo sits in the header next to your name, and skills and languages sit side by side at the bottom with level dots. Our mechanical engineer sample is shown in this template first, and it is also used in the HR, electrical engineer and content creator samples.

When to pick another one

If the resume must be strictly black and white: choose ATS plain or Classic. For design jobs where you want your taste to show, it is too quiet, and Creative works better. For job sites, an ATS plain version is the safer choice.

Every template lets you choose colors, fonts, photo and section order, and you can switch templates at any time without losing anything.
