Overview

Classic places your photo beside your name and lists your contact details with clear labels. Headings sit over full-width rules, dates line up on the right, and core competencies fit into two tidy columns.

It's made for conservative fields where a familiar format earns trust, such as healthcare, dentistry, law and accounting. A matching cover letter is included.

Built to get through an ATS

  • Real, selectable text in the PDF, never a picture of text.
  • Standard section headings that tracking systems recognize, like Experience, Education and Skills.
  • Audited: we fill Classic with a full sample resume, export the PDF and read it back the way an ATS does, field by field.

Before you apply, run your own file through the ATS resume checker to see what a tracking system reads and what to fix.

Is the Classic template ATS-friendly?

Yes. Classic exports a PDF with real, selectable text and standard section headings. We fill it with a full sample resume, export the PDF and read its text back the way an applicant tracking system does, then check that every field comes through: name, contact details, dates and every bullet.

Can I change the colors and fonts?

Classic keeps its own neutral color scheme. You can choose from 9 fonts and adjust the font size, spacing and margins. It starts in Geist.

Is there a matching cover letter?

Yes. Classic has a cover letter in the same design, so your whole application matches.

Do I have to add a photo?
