Choosing a Template

Use Swiss layouts when:

  • you want a more traditional resume presentation
  • you need a minimal, structured format

Use modern layouts when:

  • you want a more contemporary look
  • you want template accent colors

Use two-column layouts when:

  • you need more space for supporting information
  • you want skills, links, or metadata separated from the main experience column
