When to use ATS Classic

Choose this template when you are applying through large employer portals. It prioritizes parseability over visual flair while still looking professional to human readers — the same idea as a classic Harvard resume template, without the campus-only formatting quirks.

Customize without breaking ATS

You can still tailor keywords, reorder sections slightly, and tighten bullets. Avoid tables, icons in skill bars, and multi-column layouts.
