Modern

A sans face and a centred name at the top. The heading rule runs under the words rather than the full column, which reads as lighter without losing the break between sections. Suits fields where a plain serif looks dated.

  • Arial, name centred at 22pt
  • Rule under the heading text only
  • En dash bullets

The rest of them

Every template parses the same

The structural choices that decide whether a parser can read a resume are fixed across all six: one column, real headings, no tables, no text boxes, dates in one format. What you are picking here is how it looks to the person who opens it afterwards.
