Their feedback helped me understand what makes a resume effective, what recruiters actually read, and which formatting choices improve clarity and professionalism.This template is the result of countless revisions and real-world feedback.What's Included Editable Microsoft Word (.docx) resume template ATS-friendly layout Clean, professional formatting Reverse-chronological structure Easy-to-edit sections Instructions for customizing the template Template Features✔ Single-column layout for maximum readability✔ Centered header with clear contact information✔ Bold, underlined section headings✔ Right-aligned dates using tab stops✔ Optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)✔ Professional and university-friendly formattingThe design follows the same clean, conservative style commonly associated with top university career offices (often referred to as the "Harvard" or "OCS-style" resume).
