Default resume template
A centered header and headings in a left column. Neutral, versatile and easy to read.
Overview
Default centers your name, title and contact details, with an optional photo above. Section headings sit in a left column and your content runs to the right, divided by thin rules.
It fits almost any role and level, from a first job to a senior position, and it's a good starting point if you're not sure which design to choose. A matching cover letter is included.
Where it works best
- Any role and industry
- First resumes
- Product managers
- Office and administrative roles
The example above is filled in for a senior software engineer. Your own resume follows the same layout, whatever your field.

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 Default 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.
