FAQs

Is the Classic Professional template ATS-friendly?

Yes — it's single-column with standard section headers and no tables, text boxes, or graphics, which is exactly what ATS parsers handle best. It's the same structural principle recommended by Harvard's and Wharton's career centers.

What font does this template use?

Georgia (or Times New Roman as a fallback) for the body and name, with Helvetica for section header labels — a pairing common in traditional finance and consulting resumes.

Is this template good for a career change?

It works, but its conservative style is best when your target industry itself is conservative. If you're moving into a startup or creative field, the Modern template usually lands better.
