Pick the layout, Jobtae handles the content. Every template fills itself from your career history, then rewrites itself for each posting.
Free, no credit card.
A template will not get you hired, but it decides how your experience gets read. A consistent layout walks the recruiter's eye through your achievements in the order they expect: current role, experience, skills, education. All 13 templates below start from that principle. They differ in tone, in density and in how much room the skills section gets, never in reading logic.
On Jobtae the template is only a presentation layer. Your career history is captured once, then rewritten for every posting you answer. So you can switch templates afterwards without touching a single line of content, and compare two layouts on the same application.
Every preview is a real resume generated by Jobtae, not a mockup. Your document comes out with exactly this layout.
A sober single-column layout set in Lato, with no ornament. Sections follow the order recruiters expect and every line stays readable by applicant tracking systems.
When to pick it The default pick when substance matters more than styling, or when the posting runs through an ATS.

See the Academic templateMost postings go through an applicant tracking system that reads your resume before any human does. A document built on decorative columns, with text locked inside images or nested tables, often comes out empty or scrambled. All 13 templates are generated as selectable text, with an explicit heading hierarchy and a linear reading order, including the ones that show a sidebar.
Every template exports to both formats from the same screen. PDF keeps the layout pixel for pixel and stays the format to send whenever nothing forbids it. DOCX is there for recruitment agencies and job boards that require a Word file, or when you want to reword a sentence before sending. Switching format changes neither the content nor the pagination.
When in doubt, start from the industry you are targeting rather than from your own taste. These four questions settle it fastest.
Tell your career story once. Jobtae adapts it to each posting and lets you switch templates whenever you want.
