How do I make a resume with it?

Which template should I choose?
Think about the impression you want to make. Professional layouts are the safest for any recruiter and any ATS; Corporate suits senior and finance roles; Modern adds one colour or a header band for design-aware teams. You can switch designs at any time — nothing you wrote changes.
Are these templates ATS-friendly?
Yes. Every design is a single column with standard section headings and real text — no tables, photos, icons or skill bars — so applicant tracking systems read it in order. The ATS check shows you exactly how a parser sees your resume before you send it.

Which is the best ATS-friendly resume template for freshers?
Start with a Professional design such as ATS Standard: one column, education and projects near the top, clear headings.
