FAANG and famous formats

Resumes that get people into Google, Amazon, Meta, Apple, Netflix, consulting firms and banks look alike: one page, one column, plain fonts, and a number in almost every bullet. These templates follow those conventions.

Big tech (FAANG)

Google XYZ, Amazon LP, Meta Impact, Apple Clean, Netflix Senior and Big Tech. Write bullets as: accomplished X, measured by Y, by doing Z. Show scale such as users, requests or data size.

The LaTeX look engineers share

LaTeX Engineer, Two Column Tech and Accent CV give the dense, typeset feel of the resumes passed around on Overleaf and GitHub, without needing LaTeX.

Consulting and finance

Ivy, Consulting and Wall Street follow the university career-office format: education first, organisation and city on one line, title and dates on the next, Times or Garamond type.

Start with the right content

Pick the Big tech software engineer, Product manager (big tech) or Consulting or finance starting point in the builder for sample bullets written in these styles. All names and numbers are made up.

Template names describe the hiring advice each style follows. They are original layouts, not copies of any company's document, and are not affiliated with or endorsed by those companies.

Not sure which?

Applying through a job portal

Use Classic, Minimal, Big Tech or Ivy. Their layout is the plainest, so the parser has the least to get wrong.

Sending it to a person

Banner, Timeline, Magazine, Swiss Gutter, Monogram or Colour Rail give a stronger look. Keep the content the same and check it with the ATS tool.

How to use an ATS template

Three steps from template to a file you can send. Everything happens in your browser.

01

Pick a template

Start with Classic, Simple, Professional or Minimal if the job goes through an applicant tracking system (ATS). Use the filter above to see the safest ones.

02

Fill it in

The builder opens with a sample for your kind of job. Replace it with your own roles, dates and results, and add or hide sections.

03

Check and download

Compare your resume with the job posting to spot missing keywords, then download it as PDF, Word or plain text.

Resume and CV templates: questions

More in the resume writing guide, or see filled-in examples by job.

What is an ATS resume template?

A layout an applicant tracking system can read without losing anything: a single column, real text, standard headings, dates on every job, and no tables, text boxes, images or details hidden in the header.

Which template is safest for ATS?

Classic, Simple, Professional and Minimal. Most of the other templates are single column too. The two-column ones (Sidebar, Sidebar Right and Creative) are marked lower, because some systems misread columns.

Is a CV template different from a resume template?

In the UK, India and much of Europe, CV means what Americans call a resume, so these templates work as ATS CV templates too. In the US and Canada a CV is a long academic document; the Academic template suits that style.

Are the templates free?

Yes. No account, no watermark, and no limit on resumes or downloads.

Can I download my resume in Word?

Yes. Every template downloads as PDF, Word (.docx) or plain text. If the posting asks for one format, use that one.

Is my resume uploaded anywhere?

No. The builder runs in your browser and saves only on your device. The PDF, Word file and text are made on your device too.

Should I add a photo?

In the US, UK, Canada and most corporate roles in India, no. The templates have no photo field on purpose.

Pick one and start.
