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.

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.

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.

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.

A website called Good Resume offers many free resume templates.
