How do I use your resume and cover letter templates?

Simple! You simply download the files and then fill in your information. Use our built in tips to help you through the process.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. We would be happy to help write your resume or provide consulting services for tricky situations.

What if I need a three page or longer resume?

Once you purchase a template package, if you need more pages we can provide you with a third or fourth page if needed at no additional cost.

What is the file type?

The template files are in Microsoft Word (docx) format.

All, sans the modern template, are also compatible with Google docs and Pages for Mac (depending on your IOS version).

What will I receive with my purchase?

Depending on which package you selected, you will receive all applicable template files (resume, cover letter, thank you letter, references) and the career guide.

What’s the difference between the one and two page resume templates?

The one page template is for candidates with less experience and features a skills and qualifications section at the top with a work experience and education section underneath.

The two page resume template is for candidates who have more experience and/or are more advanced in their career. It features the same sections as the one page template, but with longer sections.

Why should I use a resume template?

Question:

Given the rise of ChatGPT and other AI tools, why should you even use a resume template?

Answer:

While ChatGPT can provide you with content that you can carefully edit and patch together, it will not provide a visually appealing, organized resume. If the goal is landing interviews, there is much more to the story
