Use this templateThese four rules are why the six templates above were picked over the other 138 in our library.
Multi-column layouts and text boxes can scramble reading order when an ATS parses your resume into plain text.
"Experience," "Education," "Skills" — not creative renamed labels the software may not recognize.
Images and icon-based skill bars are invisible to most ATS software and add nothing to your keyword match.
Text stays selectable and machine-readable — never a flattened image of your resume.
An ATS-friendly template uses a single-column layout, standard section headings, no tables, text boxes, photos, or icon-based graphics, and exports as selectable text rather than an image. This lets applicant tracking systems parse your name, experience, and skills correctly instead of scrambling or dropping content.
Not always rejected outright, but many ATS platforms still misread two-column layouts and icon-based skill bars — sometimes merging your sidebar content into the wrong section, or skipping it entirely. Sticking to single-column templates removes that risk completely.
