Resume Templates FAQ

Why should I use a resume template?

You should use a well-designed resume template like the downloadable formats here because the best resume templates serve two purposes.

  1. The pre-formatted sections act like fill-in-the-blank guides to help you add relevant career skills and accomplishments.
  2. The carefully designed sections, page margins, and paragraph breaks make it easy for hiring managers to scan and identify relevant information from your resume.

These professional resume templates help you highlight your qualifications without overstuffing a page, making it easier for employers to find relevant information.

What is an applicant tracking system (ATS)?

An applicant tracking system, or ATS, is an online program that scans and approves, or declines resumes before human employers see them. These programs are typically used by larger job boards such as Greenhouse, Glassdoor or Workday. Their exact methods of scanning resumes are trade secrets, but most ATS scan your resume based on the following criteria:

  1. Recognizable resume formats such as chronological or hybrid resumes.
  2. Standard resume sections such as skills, work history and education.
  3. Resume keywords related to the job description.

You can learn more about ATS-friendly resumes through our detailed ATS article.

What is the best resume template?

The best resume template uses a delicate balance of page margins, line breaks, and whitespace to help make each block of text pop without overwhelming the reader. Expert professionals design each of our professional resume templates to minimize dense entries and help hiring managers easily read through your qualifications.

We gathered our favorite resume templates into the following libraries to help you choose the best template for your job search:
