Question 1

Are these resume templates ATS-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Headings are conventional, body text stays selectable, and layouts avoid common parsing traps like multi-column trickery or icons replacing text. That is what most ATS vendors expect.

Question 2

Which template fits software and product roles?

Accepted Answer

The FAANG layout prioritizes measurable impact and keeps visual noise low — a pattern technical recruiters and many systems handle well. If you need a broader business look, Modern is the balanced alternative.

Question 3

Can I change fonts, spacing, or section order?

Accepted Answer

You control section content and ordering inside the editor. Major visual system settings stay consistent per template so exports stay predictable and ATS-safe.

Question 4

Can I use AI to fill the template?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick a template first, then generate or rewrite bullets, summaries, and skills with AI in the same workspace so layout and copy stay in sync.

Question 5

What do I get when I export?

Accepted Answer

A PDF that matches what you see in preview — no surprise pagination or missing sections when you download.

Question 6

Are these resume templates free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick any of the layouts with a free Resuque account, edit your content, and export a PDF without paying for the template itself.

Question 7

Do I need to pay later to keep my downloaded resume?

Accepted Answer

No — files you export are yours. If your account closes or plans change, anything already saved to your device stays with you.

Question 8

Can I switch templates after I have written my content?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Swap layouts once your sections are in good shape. Expect to skim line breaks or spacing so everything still fits cleanly.

Question 9

Which file types can I download?

Accepted Answer

PDF is the default for applications. Word export may appear as the product evolves — PDF remains the safest choice for ATS uploads that ask for attachments.

Question 10

Do templates include pre-written filler text I must delete?

Accepted Answer

Placeholders are meant to be replaced entirely with your own history. Use AI or your notes so no default sentence stays in the final file.
