ATS-friendly resume templates

Make it easy to read, on screen and in an application form.

A resume template should help someone find your experience, not make them work for it. Keep headings familiar, contact details in readable text and section order consistent.

Some applicant tracking systems struggle with complex layouts, text boxes, images or unusual reading order. No template can guarantee an interview or a universal ATS score.

Explore the ATS resume checker

Contact details in plain text

Name, email and telephone should be easy to select and find.

Familiar section headings

Use Experience, Education, Projects and Skills where relevant.

Skills with evidence

Show where you used an important skill, not just its name.

Check the exported file

Check text selection, page breaks and the employer’s requested file type.

Resume formats

Pick the structure before you pick the colour.

A template style and a resume format are different things. The best structure depends on how you want a reader to understand your experience.

01

Reverse-chronological

Best when recent experience tells the clearest story. Put your latest relevant roles first, with dates and accomplishments.

02

Skills plus experience

Start with selected strengths, then keep a clear employment history. Avoid hiding dates or changing official job titles.

03

Education and projects first

Show the work you have done in courses, internships, projects or volunteering when paid experience is limited.

Why templates help

Spend less time fixing the layout. Spend more time explaining your work.

Start with a structure

No guessing where to put education, skills, projects or experience. Use a starting point you can edit.

Make important details visible

Keep the right parts of your history easy to find, whether you are applying for a first role or your next move.

Check the finished file

Read your exported document, correct the wording and review the ATS feedback before applying.

Resume templates for freshers

No long job history? Give your projects a proper place.

Your first resume does not need to read like someone else’s five-year career. Start with the work you can explain: a college project, internship, volunteer task or relevant course.

Use a simple resume template

A project bullet works best when it names the tools and the part you handled.

Too vague
“Worked on college projects.”

It is difficult to tell what you built or contributed.

Built a Java library tool
“Created book search and issue/return functions with Java and MySQL for a college project.”

Names the tools and the part you handled.

Resume + cover letter

Make the whole application look consistent.

The resume shows the evidence. The cover letter explains why the role interests you. A coordinated, readable style helps both documents feel like one application.

In Walkin24, the cover letter is part of each resume and uses the same template, so your details, typography and headings match. Let the letter explain motivation and relevant evidence rather than repeat the resume word for word.

Aarav Mehta

Junior Data Analyst applicant · Pune, India

Dear Hiring Team,

I am applying for the Junior Data Analyst role. My reporting internship and SQL project gave me practical experience working with data.

During my internship, I maintained a weekly Excel report and checked duplicate entries before sharing it with my manager.

I would welcome the chance to discuss how this experience fits your team’s work.

Kind regards,
Aarav Mehta

Resume template FAQs

Are Walkin24 resume templates free?

5 of the 23 templates are free. The free plan includes one resume, a basic ATS score and PDF download with any free template. The other 18 templates and Word downloads come with Premium.

Which resume template is best for freshers?

Start with a clear format that gives education, projects, internships and practical skills enough room. Minimal and Professional are sensible styles to preview first: Clean Line is free, and Graduate and Scholar (Premium) put education first. Use real examples, not invented achievements.

Are these ATS-friendly resume templates?

They aim for readable text, familiar headings and a logical order. No design is guaranteed to work perfectly in every employer’s applicant tracking system, so check the exported file and the application fields before you apply.

Should I choose a modern or professional resume template?

Choose Professional if you want a familiar, low-distraction structure. Choose Modern if a subtle visual accent suits the role. Either way, the detail you include matters more than decoration.

Can I use a resume template without work experience?

Yes. Use projects, education, internships, volunteering or relevant certifications to show what you have done. You do not need to invent paid work history.

Can I change the resume template later?

Yes. Your details are saved separately from the design, so you can switch templates in the builder at any time without retyping your resume.

Can I download a resume template in PDF or Word?

PDF download is free with any free template. Word (.docx) downloads and the Premium templates need a Premium plan.

What if I need a CV instead of a resume?

For a job CV, choose a clear format and follow the employer’s instructions. Walkin24 does not have a separate academic CV template; academic CVs often need extra sections such as publications and can run to several pages.

Can I start with a free resume template?

Yes. Create a free account, pick one of the 5 free templates and build your resume. The free plan includes one resume and a basic ATS score.

Can I edit my resume after choosing a template?

Yes. Everything stays editable in the resume builder: change the wording, add or remove sections, or pick another template and download again.

Should I use a one-column or two-column layout?

A simple single-column structure can be easier to check for reading order. Complex layouts can cause parsing problems in some systems. Choose based on the employer’s requirements and check the final export.
