Tips for the Ivy Classic layout

Let the single column do the work: Ivy Classic reads straight down the page, the way applicant tracking systems read. Lead every bullet with an action verb and a number.
No photo needed: Ivy Classic has no photo spot, which suits the US, UK, Canada and Australia, where most employers prefer resumes without photos.
Safe for application portals: A clean layout like this is read correctly by applicant tracking systems, so it's the right choice for big companies' careers sites.
Keep it to one page: Under ten years of experience, one page is plenty. Trim older roles to a line each before shrinking the font.
