Modern Resume Template — Clean & ATS-Friendly

In today's job market, your resume has approximately 7 seconds to make an impression before a recruiter decides whether to continue reading. A modern, clean resume design with optimized content structure maximizes both human readability and ATS (Applicant Tracking System) compatibility.

This modern resume template uses a clean single-column or subtle two-column layout that parses correctly through all major ATS platforms including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and Taleo. Unlike heavily designed templates with graphics, columns, headers, or text boxes, this template uses standard formatting that ATS systems can read reliably.

The template is structured to highlight your experience, achievements, and skills in the order recruiters expect: a concise professional summary at the top, reverse-chronological work experience with measurable achievements, education, and a clean skills section. Each section uses consistent, ATS-parseable heading styles.

The design is intentionally clean and modern — enough visual polish to stand out from plain text resumes, while maintaining the formatting standards that get you through automated screening systems. The result is a resume that works for both humans and machines.
