Simple Resume Template
Simple beats clever for most jobs: a plain structure lets the recruiter find your last role, your dates and your skills in seconds.
What the template needs to do
- One font, two sizes, one accent color at most.
- Reverse chronological order: latest job first.
- Dates aligned on the right so gaps and tenure are easy to read.
- White space between sections instead of lines and boxes.
- Contact details on one line under the name.
Sample: administrative assistant resume, Minimal layout
Recommended layout: Minimal — Centered header, quiet rules, generous whitespace.
