I have seen various applicants CVs over my years working and they're all laid out differently. Some put emphasis on how much experience they have with different technologies, some rate themselves on technologies, other just include a simple work history, others give more details.
What templates do you use and/or recommend?
I'd love to find a better one, but I don't want to spend a lot of time adjusting line breaks, formatting, font size.
Education at top. Chronological experience. Job lists responsibility, results, actions taken to achieve results.
Skills are listed separately in the form of years of experience. This is controversial, because I have 3 years exp using Node but still suck at it. But I've used this format because job requirements also use time to gauge value. I know a lot of people skim skills, so I give them their own section.
Projects and other eye catchers at the bottom.
I do have a professional freelance portfolio. Resume coaches tell me it's pointless to add because companies won't click it, but people who actually read resumes get excited when they see it.
