Meridian Classic CV template

The most conservative layout we make: one column, no colour, no boxes, no photo, a centred serif name and a single rule under each section heading. Nothing here can confuse an applicant tracking system, which is why it is our default recommendation for law, finance, government and academic applications, and why it is the one to fall back on when a job ad says "no formatting". It fills a page well for someone with a moderate amount to say; if you are two years out of university it will read as sparse, and Fresh Banner will suit you better.
