The default resume

If you don't know which template to pick, pick this one. It parses, prints and reads without effort. The Simplest Resume Format removes even the section rules; the Simple One Page Resume tightens spacing for shorter histories, and the Clean Resume adds serif headings. For two pages, the Simple 2-Page Resume.

Who uses it

Caregivers, drivers, retail and office staff and anyone who wants the content to be the only thing on the page; the Caregiver Resume and Retail Resume are examples. More are under simple resume templates.
