How to choose the best resume template
Consider your experience
If you're early in your career, go for templates that make your education and skills easy to see. If you're mid-career or senior, choose layouts that bring your achievements and leadership to the top.
Match your industry
Traditional templates are great for corporate and finance roles. Modern styles fit tech and business jobs. Creative layouts shine in design and marketing fields. Simple templates work across almost any industry when you want clean, easy readability.
Align your goals
If you're changing careers, choose templates that highlight transferable skills and make your strengths easy to understand at a glance. If you're aiming for growth or leadership roles, choose layouts that make your accomplishments and impact easy to scan.
Think about ATS
Every OtterCV template is built to work with ATS, even those with modern styling. For roles that rely heavily on applicant tracking systems, pick a clean, ATS-friendly layout for the best results.
