The Classic resume template is the layout hiring managers have trusted for decades: your name centred at the top, contact details underneath, and clearly ruled sections that run down a single column. Nothing competes with your experience for attention, which is exactly why it works.

It suits almost every profession, from marketing and operations to teaching, healthcare and administration. If you are unsure which template to pick, Classic is the safest choice, and it reads well whether it is printed, emailed or opened in an applicant tracking system.

Like every ResumeJet template, Classic is completely free. There is no sign up, no watermark and no paywall: edit your content with the rich text editor, adjust fonts, accent colour, spacing and margins, then download a crisp PDF instantly. Switching to a different template at any time keeps all of your content, so you can try several designs before you decide. Your resume is saved only in your own browser, which means your personal details never touch a server.
