40+ ATS-tested resume templates — modern, creative, simple, and industry-specific. Free PDF download with no watermark.
Use chronological if your history is steady and your target role is a natural next step — it parses best through ATS and recruiters scan it fastest. Use combination if you're changing careers or gunning for a senior role — skills block on top, full history below. Avoid functional unless a recruiter explicitly asks for it — its non-standard structure parses badly and raises suspicion. Build any of the three in StylingCV with live ATS scoring on the free tier.
A template fails ATS when its design decisions break parsing: text inside images, decorative icons in place of section headers, tables that scramble reading order, or fonts the parser can't map. StylingCV templates are built the opposite way — every design choice is checked against real enterprise ATS parsers before the template ships. That is why all 40+ layouts, including the creative ones and the modern two-column ones, keep a 95%+ parse score.
The highest parsing reliability there is. One column, top-to-bottom reading order, standard section names. If you work in law, finance, government, healthcare, or academia — or you simply want zero risk — start with the simple resume templates.
The old advice — "never use two columns" — is outdated. Modern parsers handle clean two-column layouts fine; what breaks them is tables and text boxes, not columns. StylingCV's two-column templates are validated for reading order, so you get the denser, more contemporary look without the parsing risk. Popular for software, data, product, and marketing roles.
Color and character in the layout, with every word still in a real text layer. For design, marketing, and media roles where the resume itself is a portfolio piece. Creative does not mean unsafe — these pass the same parser tests as the rest.
Senior candidates get multi-page layouts that keep a clean hierarchy across pages. And if you want content written for you rather than just a layout, the AI resume builder fills any template with keyword-optimized, achievement-focused content from your raw experience.
