Resume & Cover Letter Template for Word | Matching Biography, References | ATS Friendly | Professional Resume CV

Description

This resume and cover letter template bundle for Word includes a matching biography template and references template. The resume template was created with the needs of IT / technical professionals and others who work in technology-related fields in mind. But this is a very flexible and easily customized template that is versatile enough to be a great choice resume for many experienced professionals and executives.

The resume and cover letter template bundle are eye-catching and ATS compatible. All of our templates are created specifically for MS Word.

All of the Distinctive Resume Templates were designed BY a professional resume writer FOR professional resume writers and also for DIY job hunters. A great resume always starts with GREAT content, but great content alone isn’t enough.

Appearances matter! Yes, a great resume always begins with great content. But how a resume looks makes an immediate impression and can even influence whether the resume is actually read or just tossed aside.

Additionally, your resume must be ATS compatible. Unfortunately, virtually all of the free and cheap resume templates available on the internet and even within Word itself are NOT ATS friendly. Virtually all recruiters and employers use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to keep track of applicants. An unsuspecting job seeker who uses a non-compliant template may never get a call simply because his or her resume was not able to be properly entered into the applicant tracking system. How your resume is structured matters! All Distinctive Resume Templates are designed to be ATS friendly, so you can be sure your resume will be “read” and entered into the applicant tracking system without problems.

Many free and cheap resume templates also violate resume writing best practices, encouraging an unknowing job hunter to include elements that are not acceptable in the U.S. job market, such as a headshot on your resume (PRO TIP: include a headshot on your biography, NOT your resume!)

As an award-winning resume writer with more than a quarter-century of experience in the industry, I know what works and what doesn’t work in a resume. I am an expert on resume writing best practices and ATS compliance standards.

I created all my professional resume templates for real-world use, with the needs of professional resume writers in mind (our largest customer base). They are easy to use and customize, including easily changing the color scheme to match your personal brand. They are so easy to use and customize, in fact, that many DIY job hunters without any design experience have been able to quickly and easily transform their resumes into attention-getting, job-winning masterpieces.

Video instructions showing you how to use and customize your resume template and other career marketing documents are included. Helpful tips and tricks have been included within the templates themselves, to help guide you in crafting a standout resume that gets results!
