Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a resume template elegant?

Elegant templates feature refined typography (often serif fonts), subtle decorative elements like thin rules or small caps, generous white space, and a sophisticated color palette. They convey taste and attention to detail without being flashy.

Are elegant resume templates appropriate for all industries?

Elegant templates work best for senior roles, client-facing positions, luxury brands, consulting, and hospitality. For highly technical or entry-level roles, a clean or simple template may be more appropriate.

How do I choose between elegant and professional templates?

Professional templates are corporate and conservative. Elegant templates add a touch of refinement and sophistication. Choose elegant when you want to stand out subtly, and professional when you want maximum formality.
