Basic Resume Templates FAQ
The basic resume format includes only minimal styling and essential sections.
Here’s how a basic resume should look:
- Include only the most essential sections. Depending on the format (chronological, functional, or combination), these may include a professional summary, work experience, education, and skills.
- Use minimal formatting. Each section should be highlighted with a heading, written in a slightly larger font. Within the work experience section, each position can be listed as a bullet point. Use only standard fonts such as Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri.
Avoid using photos or bright visual elements.
