Templates

Plain

Times New Roman, no rules, dates inline with the role, hyphen bullets. The most conservative thing here, and the closest to what a resume looked like before anybody designed one. Pick it for law, government, and anywhere a document is expected to look unremarkable.

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.
