Who this template is for
Government, legal, finance, healthcare administration, and older institutions where an unexpected layout is itself a signal. When in doubt about an employer culture, this is the safe read.
What to check after export
Traditional structure with no accent colour and conventional section ordering. It uses conventional section ordering and looks familiar to a human reviewer who has been reading resumes in this shape for twenty years.
The thing people get wrong
Conservative formatting does not excuse conservative writing. The bullets still need results in them; the restraint is in the presentation, not the substance.
Whichever layout you pick, run the finished export through the ATS resume checker before you apply. The preview shows how the template renders; the checker shows the text this site's extraction recovers from the file you attach, so you can see whether your details survive.
