Why this template works
The template is built around a clean hierarchy: summary first, skills next, then experience bullets that prove the role fit. It gives recruiters a fast scan path and gives ATS software text-based headings and keywords to parse. Use a more visual template for direct sharing only after you keep an ATS-safe version ready for online applications.
