Frequently Asked Questions
Are modern resume templates ATS-safe?
Yes, our modern templates are ATS-compatible despite their visual design. We achieve the modern look through typography and layout rather than images or tables that confuse ATS parsers.
What industries are modern templates best for?
Modern templates work well in tech, marketing, design, media, startups, and creative agencies. For more conservative industries like law, finance, or government, a traditional template may be preferred.
Can I use a two-column modern template?
Some ATS systems struggle with two-column layouts. We recommend testing your resume with our scanner if you choose a two-column design, and we offer single-column versions of all our modern templates.
