English resume templates
no photo, no date of birth — the header US and UK employers expect.
US and UK employers avoid photos and personal details on principle: knowing your age, gender or marital status before an interview exposes them to discrimination claims, so many screeners are told to set such resumes aside. These templates are built around a text-only header — name, then a single line of contact details — with no photo block, no personal-details grid and no target-role line.
When not to use this group
For mainland China, Japan and Korea this is the wrong shape: a resume with no photo and no personal details reads there as incomplete. Use the Chinese-format group instead.
13 english-format templates
Each cover is the template itself, rendered. All are free to use and export.
Centered name, one line of contacts, scarlet section rules. Built for overseas applications.
Serif, black and white, name left and contacts right. The academic standard.
Two columns in grayscale: education and skills on the left, experience on the right.
Centered serif header, uppercase sections, thin gray rules. The most-submitted layout in North America.
Near-black single column with a hairline above every heading. For finance, law and healthcare, where restraint reads as seniority.
Name, title and one line of contacts, left-aligned; a single blue bar marks each heading. The default pick for most English postings.
No rules, no icons, no colour — bold uppercase headings and nothing else. Built for strict ATS parsing and mass applications.
A dark band across the top, a 32pt name, and solid heading bars. For director-level and above, where the reader gives you ten seconds.
Roomy leading, an icon beside every heading and a hairline under it. For students and new grads with projects but no job history yet.
Tight leading and a wide text block — about six more lines per page. Uppercase blue headings keep a long skills list readable.
Common questions
Can I still add a photo?
You can upload one and it will render, but for US and UK applications leave it off. These layouts are designed to look complete without it.
Can I use the Chinese interface and still produce an English resume?
Yes — the interface language and the resume language are separate. Writing an English resume in a Chinese interface is exactly what this site is built for.
