Overview

Many employers run resumes through screening software before anyone reads them, so this set keeps the layout simple where it counts: one column, real text instead of text boxes or images, standard section headings and dates lined up with tabs. It still looks polished on the page.

Choose the Classic or the Modern style, each with a 1-page resume, a 2-page resume, a cover letter and a references page. A writing guide walks you through strong bullet points and a cover letter plan, so you're not staring at a blank page.

Questions

What makes a resume ATS-friendly?

Screening software reads plain text best. These templates use a single column, real text with no text boxes or images, standard headings and tab-aligned dates.

Can I edit the resume in Google Docs?

Yes. The START-HERE PDF has a Google Docs link for each of the 8 templates. Open one, choose Make a copy, and edit it in your own Drive.

Should my resume be 1 page or 2 pages?

Both lengths are included in each style, so you can pick the one that fits your experience. The writing guide gives section-by-section advice.

Do I need to install any fonts?

No. The templates use Arial and Georgia, which are already on most computers.

Can I change the colors and sections?

Yes. Everything is editable: text, colors and sections. The sample names, companies and numbers are made up, so just type over them.

How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
