Stanford Resume Template

Why the Stanford template works

The Stanford template reflects how Stanford Graduate School career services teaches its students to present themselves to Silicon Valley recruiters. Clean serif typography with generous white space, dedicated sections for research projects and side ventures, and a structure that lets technical depth and entrepreneurial range shine equally. Use Stanford when you are applying to FAANG, deep-tech startups, or VC roles where evidence of building things matters as much as your degree.
