I think it's probably better to have a plain resume than use a complex template which you aren't skilled enough to personalize. I regularly ask my students to submit resumes early in the semester. Content Employers read resumes in order to find evidence that a particular applicant is well qualified for a particular job. Experience, education, training, and personal qualities relevant to the job are all important. The resume should describe what has led the applicant to where he or she is now.
Many employers look for creativity and imagination when the job calls for it.
However, it is best to aim for a professional, neat, and organized look for your resume.
