Professional resume templates

Professional templates are built for corporate, finance, legal, healthcare, government and management roles, where the reader wants to see a serious, well-organised document before reading a word. They use restrained colour, often navy, dark green or black, classic or neutral fonts, and a clear order: summary, experience, education, certifications.

What makes these templates look professional?

Headings are easy to spot, dates line up, and there is nothing that looks like decoration for its own sake. Most are single-column, which also suits applicant tracking systems at large employers. They work well for experienced candidates, and the quieter ones are a safe choice for a fresher applying to a bank, a law firm or a big four firm.
