Classic Resume Template
Classic channels the timeless authority of serif typography and traditional formatting that has been the gold standard in finance, law, and consulting for decades. The two-column layout uses a restrained sidebar for skills and contact details while the main body follows the chronological format that senior partners and hiring committees expect. This is the resume that says you understand the culture before you walk into the room.
