Resume and Cover Letter Templates
These templates are for people applying for jobs who want a plain, readable layout they can edit in Word. Each covers one situation, such as a first job after school, a career change or a technical role, and the set covers one application with a resume, letter and references page. The cover letter set has separate letters for separate situations.
The files are .docx with real heading styles, in US Letter and A4. Sample names, companies and numbers are made up, so replace all of them with your own true details.
A script opened the files in Microsoft Word for Mac, exported a PDF and counted the pages. It also compared the reading order with the file. That test did not type longer text into the file. Google Docs and Pages have not been tried, and no applicant tracking system has been tested. No template can promise you an interview. AI helped write the sample text and how-to notes.

Questions
- What if I have ten years of work?
Keep the last three jobs here. Delete the oldest one if it has nothing to do with the job you want.
- I have no internship. Does this still work?
Yes. The Part-Time Work section takes any job, and Projects takes class work. Delete the second job block if you have one job.
- Do I have to explain my break?
No. The Return-to-Work letter asks for the reason in as few words as you are comfortable sharing.
- How do I keep the three pages matching?
Type your name and contact line into the Resume first, then copy those two lines to the top of the other two files.
