Resume Template: Traditional 002
If you would like to save some time or don't feel comfortable with the design aspect of crafting your resume, we offer numerous templates for you to choose from. Each template includes instructions and advice on how to use it.
This is a traditional template, which is generally best for conservative, established fields where professionalism and formality are valued, such as Law, Academia & Education, Finance & Accounting, Banking, Insurance, Medicine (physicians), and Government & Public Administration. This is a non-exhaustive list, and you should feel free to choose a template style that feels right to you, your industry, and your role.
