our Privacy Policy

Free resume templates for Word are in high demand among job-seekers. Where to
GOT IT!
find them?

Microsoft’s template repository has many completely free resume templates.
Explore them in your browser.

Here are several of my picks:

1. Headshot

A creative resume template with tons of bold color and non-standard shading. A
good pick for candidates seeking a job in a non-corporate environment (think
advertising, new media, or graphic design). Get it here.

2. Blue Spheres

our Privacy Policy
GOT IT!

Another fresh-looking resume template to make your job application stand out from
the black-and-white crowd (also, it’s available in multiple color schemes). Again, be
careful with this one if you’re eying a job in a conservative field. Go for this kind of
resume style only if you know your target company is relatively relaxed. Get it here.

3. Contemporary


our Privacy Policy
GOT IT!

This free MS Word template is still on the “modern” side of the design spectrum, but
the graphic elements are simple and geometric. It has a two-column layout and a bar
chart that illustrates your proficiency in the skills you include in your resume. A good
resume template for candidates in the IT or tech fields. Recommended for entry-
level job-seekers. Get it here.

4. Modern

The best part of this resume template? The main section headings make it easy for
recruiters to spot the most important parts. Minimalistic and modern (as the name
implies) at the same time will work great for sales candidates’ resumes, customer
service, or real estate. Get it here.

5. Basic This site uses cookies to ensure you get the best
our Privacy Policy
GOT IT!

This free modern resume template has a timeless design. Also, minimizing graphical
embellishments and a single column layout makes it suitable for candidates across
all industries and levels of experience. The first template on my list that senior
candidates can use. Get it here.

So—

What are the advantages of Word templates?

Most of them are entirely free resume templates, and there are a lotto choose from.

And disadvantages?

Once you start adding your content, you’ll realize that it’s not that easy to get the
resume formatting right—especially when the uses

Free Resume Templates for

Google Docs

According to stats, 1.8 billion users have a Gmail account, thereby to Google’s office
suite.

In other words:

The demand for Google Docs templates for free is pretty high, too.

Where to look for the best, though?

You can find some in the Google Docs app itself. Find my best picks here:

1. Spearmint


our Privacy Policy
GOT IT!

This free resume template for Google Docs looks stylish and classic, but a bit of
color makes the design spearmint-fresh. The uniform design means the contents can
easily extend into page two (or three, if need be). If you know your resume will be
longer than a single page, this template is for you.

2. Coral

Another free resume template from Google’s gallery. It’s simple, minimalistic, and
easily adjusted to every candidate’s needs. Do you want a functional or combination
resume format? You definitely can with this template.

3. Modern Writer


our Privacy Policy
GOT IT!

Are you a fan of magenta? This one-page resume template is another one to play
with a splash of bright color. If you’re applying to a creative industry, then sure is it’s
for you. The heading and typewriter font will single you out from the crowd without
much effort.

4. Swiss


our Privacy Policy
GOT IT!

Uh! This one’s Victorinox-level precise, so it’s best to pass the ATS. Your recruiter
will thank you for a highly organized application. If you’re trying to get a role where
the organization is a desired skill, e.g., writing an admin assistant resume, you know
this one is for you.
Don’t know what ATS (Applicant Tracking Software) is? Read our article: ATS Resume:
Template & Compliant, ATS Friendly Tips
5. Serif

A two-column resume template that’s easy to read. You’ll save space in the
employment and education section by moving the skills, awards, and language
sections to the sidebar. The blue color gives it a breath of fresh air, which not all
colors can do so easily.
our Privacy Policy
What are the pros of using Google Docs to create a template?
GOT IT!
They cost you nothing and are very easy to edit.

The cons?

They’re great-looking, but if you’re a notorious Word-rider, then limited formatting
options in Google Docs may drive you insane.

None of the above satisfied you? Here are a few more examples of Google Docs
templates that may appeal to your fussy taste buds: Google Resume Templates

When making a resume in our builder, drag & drop bullet points, skills, and auto-fill
the boring stuff. Spell check? Check. Start building a professional resume template
here for free.
When you’re done, Zety’s resume builder will score your resume and tell you exactly how to

resume done.

Canva, a valuable alternative for free modern resume templates, is one.

Here come a number of my picks from Canva:

1. Black and Blue

This free creative resume template is suitable for candidates applying to companies
with a relaxed and casual culture. It will work best if you write a resume with not too
much experience to show. Get it here.

2. Purple Infographic


our Privacy Policy
GOT IT!

This one is styled after a modern-looking infographic resume. But beware—it’s NOT
an ATS-friendly resume template for free. Send it directly to the recruiter’s inbox if
you decide to use it, as ATS may not parse it. Get it here.

3. Colorful ZigZag


our Privacy Policy
GOT IT!

This resume template for free is a good choice for designers or other creatives. Just
be warned: it’s said your resume should stand out, but in this case, it might be too
unique a resume. It’s not meant to be printed, though, unless you do it yourself using
a high-quality color printer. Get it here.

The pros of using Canva?

You can edit any free resume templates using the Canva app, even on your mobile—
which is very convenient—and you can choose to download your resume as a PDF or
an image file.

The cons?

Not all the templates you find there are ATS-parsable. Always double-check if you
can copy the content and paste it ungarbled into a text document. If you can’t,
chances are no ATS software will parse it either. Hence, be careful about not going
overboard with eye-catching resumes.

Now—

A website called Good Resume offers many free resume templates.

Take a look at some of them:

4. Dark


our Privacy Policy
GOT IT!

This free resume template is suitable for candidates seeking creative positions. It’s
available in several popular file formats, including versions of this resume template
in PSD and DOC. Get it here.

5. Old Style


our Privacy Policy
GOT IT!

Even though this free unique resume template is called Old Style, it combines
modern and vintage elements into an exciting whole. It’s suitable for candidates
writing their first resume ever. It’s available in a PSD format. Get it here.

6. Maroon

This free resume template incorporates creative graphical elements that give it a
distinguished look. You can download it as an Ai file format and add spice to your
entire application. Get it here to write a marketing resume.

7. Light and Crisp

our Privacy Policy
GOT IT!

visually compelling way. It’s an appealing alternative to more traditional resume
templates. It’s suitable for candidates applying for less traditional roles. Get it here.

Moving on—

If you’re a Mac user, you may be interested in using Pages to create your resume.
Apple put several free resume templates in the built-in template gallery.

To access them, just launch your copy of Pages, start making a new document, and
pick Resume/CV to get to the correct section quickly.

Here’s a look at a couple of them:

looking for employment with more traditional companies.

well for candidates who want to write a classic resume in the US format. Get it here.

And one more thing!
