TEMPLATE 02
Classic
Two columns with a photo: contact, skills and personal details in a coloured sidebar, your story on the right. Built for front office, hospitality, retail, healthcare reception and campus placement files — anywhere a person reads the resume directly.

One personal link instead of an attachment
A PDF is frozen the moment you export it. A digital CV on myprofile.cc is a live page with your own link — myprofile.cc/your-name — that you can share anywhere and update any time.
- Your own link, forever. Put it in your LinkedIn headline, Instagram bio, email signature or WhatsApp status. One address, no re-sending files.
- Always current. New job, new certificate, new number — edit once. Everyone who has the link sees the update immediately. No outdated copy floating around.
- Opens on a phone in one tap. No download, no zoom-and-pinch on a two-column PDF, no "file too large" on WhatsApp.
- Clickable everything. Tap to call, tap to WhatsApp, tap to mail, tap to open your portfolio or GitHub. On paper those are dead text.
- Room for proof. Photo, project links, certificates, work samples — the things a one-page PDF forces you to cut.
- Print your link on a card. Turn the URL into a QR code for your visiting card, resume header or college placement form.
Best combination: an ATS-friendly PDF for job portals, and your myprofile.cc link for everything human.

How to write a resume that clears both gates
Your resume has to pass two readers: software that filters on keywords and structure, then a human who skims for evidence. These four steps cover both.
01
Mirror the job description
Applicant tracking systems rank you on how closely your wording matches the posting. Pull the exact phrases out of the ad and use them where they are true.
- If the ad says financial modelling, write "financial modelling" — not "built forecasts".
- Spell out acronyms once with the full term beside them: Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
- Put your most important skills in the experience bullets too, not only in the skills list. Context beats a keyword dump.
Rewrite the summary and skills section for each application. It takes five minutes and does more than any design change.
02
Keep the structure boring
Creativity in layout is where most resumes get silently rejected. Parsers read top to bottom, left to right.
- Use standard headings: Summary, Skills, Experience, Education. Not "My Journey" or "What I'm Good At".
- Avoid multi-column layouts, text boxes, headers and footers — content inside them is often dropped entirely.
- Never put your phone number or email in an image or a graphic banner.
- Dates in a consistent format: Mar 2022 – Present, every time.
03
Write results, not responsibilities
Recruiters already know what a sales executive does. What they cannot guess is what changed because you were there. Use context, action, result — and put a number in it.
Weak
Managed social media accounts and created content for the company.
Strong
Directed social media strategy across 4 platforms, lifting qualified leads 40% in six months while cutting agency spend by ₹2.4L a year.
No hard numbers in your role? Use scale, frequency or scope instead: team size, ticket volume, number of clients, hours saved per week.
04
Cover the five sections that matter
- Contact details — name, phone, professional email, city, and your digital CV or LinkedIn link. No full postal address.
- Professional summary — three or four lines, rewritten per job, naming your role and strongest proof point.
- Skills — hard skills first, grouped by type. Drop "hard worker" and "team player".
- Experience — reverse chronological, three to five result bullets per recent role, fewer as you go back.
- Education — degree, institution, year. Freshers put this above experience; everyone else puts it below.
Then cut. If a line does not help you get this specific job, it is taking space from one that would.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about the tools and about resume conventions.
Is the data I enter into the resume creator saved?
No. Everything you type is processed client-side, inside your own browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server and nothing is retained once you close the page or download your file. This is the zero-retention approach described in our Privacy Policy.
Are the resume templates ATS-friendly?
Modern is: single column, standard section headings, selectable text, no graphics or hidden tables. Classic is two columns with a photo, which some parsers read across and jumble — it's meant for people, not software. Upload Modern to job portals, hand Classic over in person.
What is a digital CV and how is it different from a PDF resume?
A digital CV is a live web page with its own personal link, like myprofile.cc/your-name. Instead of attaching a file, you share one link that opens instantly on any phone or laptop. You can edit it whenever you like and the link never changes, so nobody is ever reading an old copy of you.
Should I use a PDF resume or a digital CV link?
Both, for different jobs. Portals like Naukri and LinkedIn Easy Apply still want a PDF upload, so keep an ATS-friendly one ready from the templates above. Use your myprofile.cc link for WhatsApp, email signatures, your Instagram bio, walk-in interviews and networking — anywhere a human is doing the reading.
How long should my resume be?
One page for entry-level to mid-career candidates. Two pages are reasonable only after roughly ten years of relevant experience, or for academic and research roles where publications matter. A digital CV has no such limit — the extra projects and certificates can live there.
Do I need an account to use the resume creator?
No sign-up, no email, no paywall. Open a template and start typing.
Should I send a PDF or a Word file?
Send a PDF unless the posting specifically asks for .doc or .docx. PDF keeps your layout identical on every device, and modern applicant tracking systems read it without trouble. Name the file clearly: Firstname-Lastname-Role.pdf.
Should I add a photo?
On a PDF resume for India, the US or the UK — leave it off. It takes space, adds no hiring signal and can confuse parsing software. On a digital CV page, do add one: a human is always the reader there, and a face makes the profile memorable.
Can I request a template that isn't here yet?
Yes. Tell us the industry and the layout you have in mind through the contact page and we will look at adding it.
