The detail

About this template.

Most template sets give you one layout and hope it fits. It rarely does. A conservative employer wants a straightforward single column; a role with a long skills list reads better in two; some regions and industries expect a photo, and many explicitly don't. This set includes all three built from one design system, so whichever you send, your application looks like it came from the same considered hand.

Three layouts included

  • Single Column — the safest structure for large employers and ATS uploads, with Education and Skills sharing a clean closing band
  • Two Column — a left sidebar for contact, education and skills, freeing the main column entirely for experience
  • With Photo — a circular photo placeholder in the header, for markets and industries where a portrait is expected

Complete application set: every layout comes with a matching cover letter and a three-entry reference page, all sharing the same header treatment, rule weights and typography — so the documents read as a set rather than three unrelated files.

Specifications

  • Documents: 3 resume layouts + cover letter + reference page
  • Formats: .docx, Google Docs, Pages, PDF
  • Colors: Sage, navy, burgundy, charcoal, dusty blue
  • Page size: US Letter & A4
  • Pages: 1 per document
  • Software: Word, free Google account, or Pages

Editing it: each file is fully styled — heading sizes, rule weights, column widths and spacing are preset, so replacing the placeholder text won't break the layout or push it to a second page. Switching accent color is a single style change, not a hunt through the document.

Suited to professionals with roughly two to eight years of experience, career changers wanting a clean baseline, and anyone applying across mixed industries who needs one polished look that adapts.

Straight answers.

Anything not covered here — get in touch or read the full FAQ.

How is this file built for applicant tracking systems?
The layout is built without tables, text boxes, or hidden columns in the content a parser reads, and it uses standard section headings such as Experience, Education and Skills. The reading order in the file matches the order you see on the page, so a text extraction returns your history in sequence. Every tracking system parses differently, so we describe how the document is constructed rather than promising a particular outcome.
What software do I need to edit it?
Microsoft Word, or a free Google account. Each pack includes a .docx file and a Google Docs version you copy into your own Drive; most also include an Apple Pages file. All of them export to PDF when you are ready to send. There is nothing to install and no proprietary editor to learn.
How does delivery work?
It is a digital download. Your files unlock as soon as payment clears — they appear in your account immediately and a link is emailed to you at the same time. Nothing ships, and you can re-download the files whenever you need them.
What does the licence cover?
Unlimited personal use. Edit the files as often as you like and tailor a fresh version for every role you apply to, for as long as you want. What you cannot do is resell, redistribute, or share the template files themselves as your own product.
