Best Resume is now CVBuilderKit. Same site, same templates - but signing in again is required, because the address changed.

Classic Resume Template

Single-column · Inter · Professional

Classic sets your name in heavy uppercase type over a steel-blue accent headline, then keeps everything else in one measured column: a skills matrix with an icon per category, a credentials line for degrees and certificates, and a separate line for competitions and awards. It reads like a traditional CV that still has real structure underneath.

Use this template

Who it suits

  • A single-column CV for roles that expect a traditional, structured layout
  • Anyone with certifications, competitions or awards worth their own line
  • Careers with enough side projects to want a grouped, by-stack list
