About traditional resume templates
Some fields reward convention. A traditional CV signals that you understand the norms of the profession, and it removes any risk that an unusual layout is read as a lack of seriousness.
These templates follow the familiar order: contact details, summary, work history, education, then everything else. That predictability is the point, because a reviewer comparing forty applications knows exactly where to look on each one.
Best suited for
- Academia and research
- Government and the public sector
