Who this template is for
Writing, communications, publishing, and content roles where typography is part of the pitch. A serif treatment signals a certain kind of attention without saying so.
What to check after export
A standard, widely installed serif rather than a decorative one, and inspect names and symbols in the PDF or DOC export. Decorative fonts are where text extraction quietly turns into nonsense.
The thing people get wrong
Serif at small sizes is harder to skim than sans. Keep the bullets short here; a dense serif paragraph is the fastest way to lose a recruiter doing a first pass.
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.
