Classic Centered resume template: centered serif, traditional rules

Classic Centered puts a centered serif name over a single contact line and separates sections with traditional rules. It is the familiar look of a conventional resume, which is exactly why conservative industries trust it.

ATS notes for the Classic Centered layout

This is a single-column family, the layout that reads in the simplest order.

  • Single column in every template of the family, with contact details on one row separated by vertical bars.
  • Nothing in the spec is positioned outside the main text flow, but you should still run the analyzer's ATS view on your exported file rather than assume.

The only way to know what a parser reads from your own file is to look: export it, then run it through the ATS resume checker.

Single column in every template of the family, with contact details on one row separated by vertical bars. Nothing in the spec is positioned outside the main text flow, but you should still run the analyzer's ATS view on your exported file rather than assume. No template can promise a result with every employer system, so check the exported file in the analyzer's ATS view before you apply.

It sits in the "Classic" look. Finance, law, government, healthcare administration and other traditional sectors. Candidates who expect a printed copy to be handed around an interview panel. Anyone who wants a safe, recognisable layout without the starkness of a plain one. Less ideal for: creative or startup roles that reward a more distinctive page.

Not in sectors where the reader expects it. The layout matters less than the content: titles, employers, dates and measurable results. Pick the classic look when your industry is conservative and a distinctive one only when it rewards it.
