How it Works - Resume Templates

From download to job-ready resume in four simple steps
No design skills. No fighting with formatting. Pick a template, open it in Word, add your details, and send it.
Browse TemplatesChoose the template that fits you
Start with the style that matches your career stage and industry. Clean and minimal works well for corporate roles, a bold header suits creative and marketing roles, and a classic two-column layout is a solid all-rounder.
Download your files
Once your order is complete, your template files are ready to download from your order confirmation and email. Save them to a folder you can find easily, like Documents or your desktop.
- Your download includes the editable Word template.
- If the file arrives zipped, right-click it and choose Extract or Unzip first.
- Keep an untouched copy of the original so you can always start fresh.
Open it in Word and make it yours
Open the file in Microsoft Word and click into any text to replace it with your own. Swap in your name, contact details, work history, and skills. Layouts, spacing, and fonts are already set up for you, so you only focus on the content.
Save as PDF and send it off
When you are happy with it, go to File, then Save As, and choose PDF. A PDF keeps your layout exactly the same on every device and in every application tracking system. Name the file clearly, for example FirstName-LastName-Resume.pdf, and attach it to your applications.
- Tailor the top summary and keywords to each job description.
- Proofread once more, then read it aloud to catch slips.
- Keep your resume to one page unless you have extensive experience.
Quick answers
Do I need special software?
You need Microsoft Word to edit the templates. No design software is required.
Can I change the colors and fonts?
Yes. Everything is editable in Word, including colors, fonts, and section order.
Will my resume pass applicant tracking systems?
The layouts are clean and use standard headings, which helps. Always use keywords from the job posting, and save as PDF unless the employer asks for another format.
