About this template
Applicants who prefer a conventional document style, including business, service and administrative roles. This is a design suggestion, not an employer endorsement.
Layout details
- Serif body typography and restrained section rules
- Role titles and dates arranged together
- Text-based skills grouped by category
What to check
Long job titles and date ranges share space. Check wrapping with your real content rather than shortening important role names just to fit.
Writing advice for this layout
Use the latest relevant role to show responsibility and results. Older roles can be shorter when they add less to the application.
