How To Create A Resume
Creating a resume that accurately reflects your skills and experience can be a challenge. Luckily, there are several steps you can take to make sure you get your resume just right. To begin, make sure to include your contact information, including a professional email address, and make sure to proofread your document for any typos or grammatical errors. Additionally, be sure to tailor your skills and experience to the job you are applying for.
When it comes to formatting your resume, many job seekers opt for a chronological or functional format. A chronological resume is ideal for those whose work experience is directly related to the job they are applying for, while a functional resume focuses more on your skills and qualifications. Additionally, be sure to include a summary statement at the top of your resume that outlines your most important skills and experience.
Once you have the basics down, it’s time to start adding in any relevant details. This can include your educational experience, certifications, and any relevant volunteer experience. Make sure to list out any job responsibilities you’ve had that are applicable to the job you are applying for, including how a particular project was successful or how you achieved a certain goal.
With these steps in mind, you’ll be well on your way to creating a resume that stands out from the crowd. Just remember to keep it professional, proofread it thoroughly, and tailor it to the job you’re applying for – you’ll be sure to make a great first impression!
What to Include in a Resume
A resume is one of the most important documents you’ll ever create. It’s your chance to showcase your achievements, skills, and experience, and convince potential employers that you’re the perfect person for the job. Knowing what to include in a resume is key to creating an effective, successful document.
The main sections that should appear in your resume are your contact information, work experience, skills, and education. Each section should be clearly labeled and easy to find.
Your contact information should include your full name, email address, phone number, and physical address. This should be at the top of your resume so that employers can easily contact you. If you’re applying to a job online, make sure to include a link to your LinkedIn profile or other professional website.
The work experience section should include details about your past employers, job titles, dates of employment, and a brief description of your duties. Be sure to highlight any accomplishments or awards you received during your time with each employer.
Your skills section should include both hard and soft skills that you possess. Hard skills are specific, technical skills such as computer programming or bookkeeping. Soft skills are interpersonal skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem solving.
Finally, the education section should include the name of the institution you attended, your degree or certification, and the dates when you attended. If you have any special honors or awards, include them in this section as well.
Creating a resume can be overwhelming. But by breaking it down into manageable sections and focusing on the key information that employers need to know, you can create an effective resume that will help you land the job you’re after.
How to Write the Resume Summary Statement
The resume summary statement is one of the most important parts of your resume. It is a concise summary of your professional qualifications and the key accomplishments in your career. It should be written in a professional and engaging manner that will capture the reader’s attention and encourage them to read through your resume.
The summary statement should be tailored to each job that you are applying for, as it should highlight your most relevant skills and experience for the role. It should be concise, yet detailed, and should include your career objectives and what you can bring to the position. Ideally, the summary statement should be no longer than three or four sentences, but it should still be able to capture the reader’s attention and provide the relevant information.
When writing your summary statement, make sure you are using language that is clear and concise. Avoid using jargon and technical terms that are not easily understood by the audience. Make sure you are emphasizing your key skills and qualifications and avoiding generic phrases. Additionally, be sure to provide information that is relevant to the job and that is not already included in other sections of your resume.
When you are writing the summary statement, focus on the positive and highlight the accomplishments that are most relevant to your current job search. Make sure to include information about how you can contribute to the role and the organization. This can include your ability to work in a team, your communication and leadership skills, or any other skills that are specific to the job.
By following these tips, you will be able to create a strong and effective summary statement for your resume that will help you stand out from the competition.
How to Write the Work Experience Section in Your Resume
No matter how much experience you have in your chosen field, a well-written work experience section on your resume will help you stand out to potential employers. Your work experience section should provide a clear overview of your professional history, including places of employment, job titles, and a brief description of the duties you completed at each job.
When writing the work experience section of your resume, start with your current or most recent job. Make sure to include the company name, the duration of your employment, and any relevant job titles you had at that job. You should also include a brief summary of the tasks and duties you completed as part of that job.
Be sure to include details of any certifications you earned or other accomplishments that are related to the job. It is important to be as specific as possible when describing your work experience, as this will help potential employers get a better understanding of your skills and experience.
You should also include any volunteer work or unpaid internships you have had. This will show employers that you are dedicated to your chosen field, even when no one is paying you to do it. Be sure to include the organization’s name, the dates you volunteered, and a short description of your duties.
Finally, make sure to list any special projects or initiatives you led. This will demonstrate your leadership skills and ability to work on complex projects. Be sure to list the project title, your role in the project, and the outcome of the project.
Writing the work experience section of your resume can be a daunting task, but if you follow these tips you will be sure to impress potential employers. Make sure to include relevant job titles, a brief description of each project, and the skills you used to complete the project. Additionally, provide details about the scope of the project, any challenges you faced, and how you overcame them. Finally, detail the specific results you achieved and how they impacted the organization. Doing this will show employers that you are an experienced and capable leader, and you have the ability to work on complex projects with successful outcomes.
Should I Include References on My Resume?
When it comes to writing a resume, there is one key question that many job seekers face: Should I include references on my resume? The answer depends on the specific job that you’re targeting and the type of resume you’re crafting.
In general, including references on a resume is not appropriate. It can take up valuable space that you could use to demonstrate other qualifications. Additionally, references are often requested later in the hiring process. Therefore, it makes more sense to reserve that space for more relevant information about your background and experience.
However, there are certain cases when including references on a resume is acceptable. For example, if you have a very short resume, or are applying to a job that specifically requests references, you may want to include them on your resume. If you choose to do this, make sure that you provide the names of three people who you have worked closely with in the past and can speak positively about your qualifications.
In summary, it is not usually necessary to include references on your resume. If you do decide to include them, make sure that you provide the names of individuals who know about your skills and qualifications, and can provide a positive reference for you.
Common Resume Mistakes to Avoid
When writing a resume, it is important to avoid common mistakes so that your resume stands out from the crowd. One of the most common mistakes is to include too much personal information. It is not necessary to include your full address, phone number, and other personal details. If a potential employer wants to contact you, they will likely ask for the missing information. Additionally, avoid including too much irrelevant information and make sure all information is completely accurate.
Another common mistake is to use too much fluff words and outdated language. Your resume should be concise and to the point, so use action words that demonstrate your skills and abilities. Long sentences and adjectives will not help you get noticed and may even turn a potential employer off. Avoid using industry jargon and acronyms and make sure to proofread your resume multiple times to ensure there are no spelling or grammar errors.
Finally, make sure to format your resume correctly. Use a consistent font, font size, and line spacing throughout the document. Also, be sure to include appropriate section titles such as “Experience”, “Skills”, and “Education”. If you are including a cover letter, make sure it is poignant and concise. Avoid using a generic template and tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific job description.
Making sure to avoid common mistakes is an important part of writing a quality resume. Taking the extra time to write an effective resume will help you stand out from other applicants and increase your chances of being invited for an interview.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sample resume format.
When creating a resume, there are many different options for the structure and format. One of the most popular resume formats is the “sample resume format”. This format is easy to use and allows applicants to showcase their qualifications and experiences in a straightforward and organized manner.
The sample resume format is organized in a way that employers can quickly skim through the resume and gauge the most important information about the applicant. The resume typically begins with the applicant’s contact information, such as their name, address, phone number, and email. After that, a brief summary of the applicant’s qualifications is usually given. This summary should be brief, but should include the applicant’s experience and any special skills or certifications they may have.
Next, the applicant should list their work history in a chronological order, beginning with the most recent job. For each job listed, the applicant should include the job title, the company they worked for, the dates they worked there, and a brief description of the duties they performed. This section of the resume should be kept brief, as employers don’t need to know every little detail of the applicant’s job history.
Finally, the applicant should list any relevant certifications or education they have. This is the section where the applicant can showcase any awards, degrees, or special skills they may have.
What is the best resume format for 2023?
As job seekers look ahead to the new year and prepare their resumes for 2023, they’re wondering what the best resume format for the upcoming year is. It’s understandable to want to ensure your document is up to date and makes the most of the latest trends, but the truth is that the best resume format for 2023 is the same one that has proven to be effective for years: a clear and concise reverse chronological format.
A reverse chronological resume format is the most widely-accepted style, and for good reason. This format puts your most recent experience first, which is where hiring managers are most likely to look first. It also follows a straightforward pattern that’s easy to understand, making it well-suited to employers’ scanning software.
When creating a reverse chronological resume, it’s important to make sure your resume is up-to-date, organized, and complete. Include information about your most recent job experience, education, certifications, and any other relevant skills or qualifications. You should also include any awards or professional accolades as they’re an important way to show potential employers that you’re an accomplished professional.
In addition to this classic resume format, you can also add a few creative touches. Consider including visuals, such as graphs or charts, to highlight your accomplishments or a video introduction to create a more engaging document. An infographic can also be a great way to show the breadth of your skills and experience in an easy-to-read format.
Is resume the same as CV?
No, a resume and a CV (Curriculum Vitae) are not the same. A resume is a one or two page document that outlines your qualifications, skills and experience for a specific job or position you are applying for. It is important to tailor your resume to the job you are applying for, so the skills and experiences you list are relevant to the job. The resume also includes any awards and accomplishments you have achieved, and is typically used when applying for jobs in the United States.
A CV is a more comprehensive document than a resume. It is longer and more detailed, and is used when applying for jobs in academia, such as universities, research institutes, or for certain positions in the medical field. The CV will usually include more detailed information than a resume, such as educational history, publications, research and teaching experience, professional memberships and awards. The format of a CV varies by country, so it is important to have a CV that is tailored to the standards of the country you are applying for.
How do I make a good resume?
Writing a resume can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. It’s an opportunity to showcase your skills and accomplishments, but if it’s not done right, you could be missing out on potential opportunities. When it comes to writing a resume, there are certain steps you should take to ensure it looks professional and stands out in the sea of other applicants.
The first step in creating a good resume is to think carefully about the job you’re applying for. Consider what skills and experience are required for the job and tailor your resume accordingly. It’s important to use relevant keywords that appear in the job posting so that employers know you’re a good fit for the role.
Next, you should use a professional format that is easy to read and looks neat. Make sure to include your contact information, education, work experience and any other relevant information that is relevant to the job. All of this should be presented in a clear and concise manner.
Once you have the basics of your resume drafted, you should go back and review it to make sure it reads well. Use bullet points and headings to break up the text and make it easier to scan. It’s also a good idea to get a second opinion from a friend or colleague and ask if they have any feedback.
Finally, proofread your resume to make sure there are no typos or errors. Check your grammar and punctuation and make sure all of the information is accurate. Once you’ve done this, you should be ready to submit your resume.
How do you end a resume?
When it comes to writing resumes, the ending is just as important as the beginning. The end of your resume is your chance to leave a lasting impression with the reader and make it more likely they will remember you. A professional and well-crafted conclusion can help you stand out from the crowd and increase your odds of getting the job you want.
When ending your resume, it’s important to use a few key elements. First, you should include a summary of your qualifications that highlights your key skills and experiences. This gives the reader a quick and easy overview of why you’re the right fit for the job. You should also include any awards or certifications you’ve earned that are relevant to the position.
Next, you should end the resume with a call to action. This could be something like “I look forward to hearing from you soon” or “Please feel free to contact me with any questions.” This shows the reader that you’re confident and eager to discuss the position further.
Finally, you should include your contact information. Be sure to include your phone number, email address, and any other communication methods that may be relevant. This makes it easy for the reader to get in touch with you if they’d like to learn more about your background.
In conclusion, writing a resume can seem overwhelming but with the tips outlined above, you can create a great resume which will help you land that dream job. Remember to focus on your skills, experience, and accomplishments, but don’t forget to include your contact information, education, and references. Your resume should be accurate, up-to-date, and include any recent awards or certifications. Good luck in your job search!

Resume Writing Tips
What your resume should look like in 2023 (with examples & templates).
Learning what your resume should look like in 2023 isn’t just a matter of aesthetics.
Hiring data shows there’s an average of 200 applicants per job opening. Some researchers say that figure may be closer to 500 candidates , depending on the position.
I share these figures not to scare you, but to highlight your stiff competition.
Your resume is your best chance to make a powerful first impression on hiring teams and recruiters. These decision-makers are inundated with well-qualified applicants as soon as they post a job.
And to make matters worse, eye-tracking studies reveal they only spend 7.4 seconds scanning a resume before deciding whether to read it in its entirety or move on to the next one.
That’s not a lot of time to capture and excite readers about your value.
So in this post, I’ll highlight exactly what your resume should look like in 2023 to stand out, engage readers, and boost your chances of landing an interview.
What Your Resume Should Look Like In 2023: 5 Must-Haves + Examples
An attractive, high-performing resume immediately piques a reader’s interest. It subtly draws them down the page to learn why you’re the candidate they’re looking for.
So every resume in 2023 should incorporate these five elements to achieve that goal:
1. An Updated, Modern Design
A traditional resume format (think: chronological order, bullet points, etc.) won’t give you a leg-up on your competition in 2023. Using one may even hold you back.
See, hiring managers tune out when one of those stale resume templates lands on their desks for the umpteenth time. These boring resumes don’t excite or connect with readers. So your resume could be passed over in that brief 7.4-second scan before it’s even read.
That’s why it’s so important to freshen up the look of your resume with an updated, modern resume template like this one:
Want to use this resume template? Click this link purchase it and start customizing this template (or any others in this article) now.
Unlike a traditional resume template, the one above builds a personal connection with readers by introducing and showcasing your value first. A quick scan of the top half provides them with a snapshot of your areas of expertise and core competencies, two very attractive “hooks” to hiring teams.
Readers will then feel compelled to learn where you honed those skills. So the bottom half of this resume template helps organize your career achievements in an engaging, eye-appealing way.
Rather than reading like a bland job description, each point should back up your skill set while proving your track record of success.
Anyone reading your resume formatted with a modern template like this will know precisely who you are and the value you’ll deliver, which is the ultimate goal.
2. Clear Sections To Highlight Your Best Features
Resumes that look like one giant block of text are intimidating. They tell hiring teams they’ll need to spend time and effort to mine for the intel they’re looking for. And with hundreds of other resumes vying for their attention, they’ll probably just pass on doing so.
That’s why most modern resume templates are divided into sections with clear, distinct headers. This makes your resume easier to scan and read, not to mention far more enjoyable for busy hiring managers.
The resume template above does a fantastic job of breaking up a resume into bite-sized chunks of information. The example below takes this concept a step further:
The highlights and expertise section in this resume template sits in a blue box to draw the reader’s eyes and attention. This is like telling hiring teams, “Hey! Come check this out!”
So think of your resume as a cheat sheet for hiring managers and recruiters rather than a dossier.
Your resume headings and sections will create an organized outline of your qualifications. Then these call-out boxes can be used to show off your best features, as they’re likely one of the first things hiring managers will notice during their initial scan.
3. Strategically-Placed White Space and Tight Copy
Often times, candidates are so focused on adding every little detail to their resume that it becomes too crammed to read. Headings and call-out boxes can help with this problem. But nothing works quite as well as more white space.
White space, or the places in your resume without words or formatting, adds breathing room to your resume . It prevents a resume from appearing jam-packed and hard to read.
A resume with well-defined sections naturally creates more white space, like this resume template :
Aim for short copy to add more white space to your resume . Break up any big chunks of text to make reading less overwhelming and easier for the eyes.
Your resume is like a garden. You don’t want wordy sentences hiding your highlights and achievements like weeds overrunning a beautiful flower bed.
Prune your copy, and you’ll easily add more white space to your resume and draw attention to your best selling points simultaneously.
4. A Bold Pop of Color
If you really want to stand out and catch someone’s attention, a pop of bold color on your resume is a must. But this doesn’t mean you should haphazardly throw a rainbow of color wherever you want.
When done strategically, as this example does, color can be used to add emphasis, contrast, and personality. It can also help break up the sea of black text on your resume.
Want to use this resume template? Click this link to customize this template or any others in this article now .
Though a pop of color can help your resume stand out and make a memorable first impression, colors that are too bright or off-putting will do so for the wrong reasons. Opt for deeper, saturated shades, so your resume will be legible in person and on-screen.
5. A Clear, Easy-to-Read Font and Formatting
It’s essential to think about the font you choose for your resume .
Anything “cutesy” will likely be regarded as unprofessional. Likewise, a font that’s too light or too bold may also be difficult to read.
The best fonts to use on a resume include Serif and Sans Serif fonts, such as Times New Roman, Georgia, Verdana, and Arial.
As for the font size, stick to 10-14 points (10-12 for regular text and 12-14 for headings and subheadings).
This template offers a great example of resume text formatting:
On a similar note, be sure to emphasize the right areas, not everything . Only use bold or italics to draw attention to your top achievements, companies you’ve worked for, and other notable points according to the role.
Ready To Update Your Resume for 2023?
Now that you know the must-have ingredients for a high-performing resume, it’s time to put these tips to good use.
Incorporating today’s must-have elements will give your resume a fresh upgrade for 2023 and help you connect with hiring teams and recruiters.
Even better news?

Not sure how to structure your resume?
Here’s our tried-and-tested resume layout :
- Choose the right resume format or pick a template. If you’re formatting your resume yourself, follow the reverse-chronological format and make sure to follow the right layout rules. Alternatively, you can use one of our premade resume templates and not have to worry about formatting your resume one bit.
- Add relevant contact details and make sure they’re mistake-free. You shouldn’t be missing information such as your full name and job title, e-mail address, and where you’re based. Optionally, you can also include some relevant social media profiles, such as your LinkedIn.
- Include a resume summary or a resume objective. Done right, a resume summary will show the hiring manager you’re a relevant candidate from the get-go and have them read the rest of your resume.
- List your work experience, placing special focus on your achievements. Your work experience becomes more meaningful if you include your achievements in your past roles and manage to make them quantifiable.
- Mention your top soft and hard skills. List any skills you have that are relevant to the job you’re applying for in a seperate section.
- Keep your education section short and concise. Unless you’re an entry-level candidate with little-to-no work experience, keep your education section short and to the point.
- Leverage optional sections like “Languages,” “Certifications,” or “Hobbies and Interests.” Fill up the rest of your resume space with optional sections that can highlight your strengths and qualifications as a candidate (e.g. foreign languages you speak, certifications you’ve obtained over the years, or your hobbies and interests).

Frequently Asked Questions About Resumes
How do you write a good resume.
Brainstorm your positive career experiences, then choose the most relevant ones to feature on your resume. Divide your information into distinct sections (like professional experience, education, or key skills), and use each section to show you can excel in your target job. Also write a brief profile summary of your top qualifications. Tailor your resume to each job application, using keywords from the job posting. Your resume should include your contact information, profile, experience, education, and key skills.
How long should a resume be?
For most people, a resume should be between one to three pages long , but it depends on your job goals and experience. Your resume should include relevant information, but not so much that it overwhelms recruiters and hiring managers.
What is the best resume format?
A reverse chronological resume format is widely accepted as the industry standard and is the best resume format for most job seekers. With a reverse chronological format, your most recent and relevant experience is at the top.
How many jobs should you list on a resume?
List all relevant job experience on your resume. A good rule of thumb is to include your three most recent jobs and go back as far as 15 years.

Resume Templates by Role
Different career types have different resume requirements. A nurse applying to a large, old-school hospital is going to need a different resume template than a programmer applying to a tech company. These resume templates are meant to make that selection process easier for you.
A job resume is a short, sweet, and to-the-point document that spotlights your professional experience. It’s basically a summary.
Whether you’ve been in the workforce for 15+ years, have no job experience, or are somewhere in between, resumes have been sparking fear and dread in job seekers since approximately 1482 when Leonardo De Vinci drafted what became known as the first resume .
Resumes are what just about any place of employment requests when you apply for a job. Companies—big and small—wanna know:
◉ What skills do you bring to the job? ◉ Do you have relevant work experience for the role? ◉ Do you want to work for them?
A good resume answers those questions—and isn’t so unlike De Vinci’s resume that honed in on how he could meet the specific needs and challenges of the Duke of Milan.

The best resume template is the one that complements your personality and allows the space you need to highlight your finest work, top achievements, and job skills.
Every resume template you see on this page has been thoroughly vetted by hiring experts to ensure they include everything you need to help you land your next job. Whether you’re applying to a funky tech startup or looking to join the ranks of a reputable law firm, you’ll find a professional resume template that speaks to you.
Hunting for a new job is incredibly stressful as there’s a lot of uncertainty in the process. And while these resume templates won’t alleviate all stress, they’ll ensure your resume has everything you need to sail through an applicant tracking system (ATS) and impress hiring managers.
Try saying “applicant tracking system” 10 times fast, and you’ll know why it got shortened to ATS.
At its core, an applicant tracking system puts the gas on hiring. Typically, when folks think about ATS software, they think about it weeding out resumes that don’t include the right skills or qualifications.
That’s certainly true enough, but the ATS also helps HR and recruiters organize and sort job candidates, keeps track of communication with job seekers, sets up interviews, and does a host of other not-so-fascinating things.
Basically, when you choose an ATS-friendly resume template from BeamJobs, you can rest easy knowing that the document itself will make it through the software
When it comes to your resume, it will house these staple sections:
◉ Contact info (Triple-check the spelling of your name; see the question about “how to make a resume” for a cringe-worthy BeamJobs blunder.) ◉ Work experience ◉ Skills ◉ Education
Depending on your occupation and years of experience, you could add these optional resume sections:
◉ Resume summary or resume objective ◉ Hobbies and interests ◉ Projects (an umbrella term for things like volunteer experience, academic or personal projects, etc.)
The more relevant job experience you have, the longer the “work experience” section of your resume should be since that’s what employers care about most. On the other hand, when you’ve recently graduated and don’t have much (or any) experience, things like education and projects can take up more real estate on your resume.
Whatever your professional background, our resume maker lets you re-arrange, remove, and add sections as needed to your resume template.
Not to blast our own horns, but we’ve reviewed tens of thousands of resumes in the last few years. Would you believe we’ve actually seen resumes without a name ?! Besides discovering disheartening news like that, we’ve figured out how to make a good resume .
There are plenty of resume tips we could give you, but here are three that, when followed, will most increase your chances of snagging an interview:
Use numbers to showcase your impact in past roles. Your work experience should focus on your measurable accomplishments, not on job responsibilities.
Tailor your resume for each job you apply to, which means reading each job description carefully. As you read, see if any prior work projects come to mind. Include those projects on your resume.
Avoid grammar and spelling errors. We know, you’ve heard it before. But you’d be aghast (fun word) at the number of folks rejected for a job because of this. (C ough cough We won’t say his real name, but one of our team members whose title rhymes with re-bounder once sent out 20 resumes with his name spelled ‘Stepen.’)
One page—plain and simple.
While you might get away with a two-page resume if you’ve got 10-plus years of experience under your hat, keep in mind that recruiters and hiring managers aren’t giving your resume the time of day it deserves anyway.
The most painful part of building a resume is editing yourself. How can your entire career fit into four or five bullet points for each job you’ve had? Here’s some good news: if you’re a senior engineer, it’s totally cool to drop from your resume the server job you had in college.
Even if you whittled the jobs you’d include down to three or four, try starting with a basic resume outline . Fill it to your heart’s content; then, review every job experience bullet point individually and ask, “Does this point show my expertise and say something new?” If the answer’s no, exclude it. Before you know it, you’ll have a polished one-page resume.
40 Best Free Resume Templates to Use and Customize in 2023
It’s easier to create a stand-out resume when you have a starter template instead of a blank page. The best resume templates are designed to pass through an application tracking system (ATS) and catch the attention of recruiters. This way, all you have to do is plug the right information into the right places. From there, the goal is to land beaucoup job interviews so that you can get that dream offer ASAP.
Ahead, you’ll find 41 professional, free resume templates to consider.
You may notice that many of our favorite resume templates are minimalistic, with fewer graphics, charts, and sections than you might find elsewhere. A simple, software-friendly design is what you want for an ATS, because these tracking systems don’t always “read” as well as a human and can’t handle a lot of formatting. Certain design elements—like columns, text boxes, headers, footers, images, graphs, and graphics—can cause an ATS to read out of order or drop things entirely.
Keep these limitations in mind when choosing your fighter, because not all online templates follow best practices. Even the best ones (including some on this list!) slip up here and there. A few common changes you’ll have to make to templates are:
- Moving all text out of text boxes, headers, and footers and into the body of a document
- Changing any creative section headings to traditional ones
- Removing any graphic elements or replacing them with text
Not all embellishments are out of bounds, however. You can give your resume some character (without compromising your chances of getting hired) by using:
- Bold and italicized text
- Underlined words (in headings and hyperlinks)
- Color (dark blues, greens, and reds are popular since people can also read them easily)
- Different text alignments (e.g., right, left, center)

Here are a few traditional templates with straightforward, chronological formatting and classic section headings. They’re tried-and-true templates that won’t run into any trouble with an ATS.
1. The Muse’s resume template
File format: Google Doc
Our downloadable template uses blue for the section headers, adding a slight pop to an otherwise simple sample, and is totally customizable.
2. HLooms proficient resume template
File format: DOCX
HLoom offers templates that are ideal for ATSs. Some incorporate color and bullet points, but they do away with other bad-for-ATS elements. The “Proficient” resume template is a straightforward, chronological resume with space for experience, education, and skills.
3. Rezi’s standard resume template
File format: PDF, DOCX
Rezi guides you through filling out their standard template step-by-step, asking you what level of career and industry you’re in to make sure you’re using the right sections for you. For example, one option is for students who may want to put projects, activities, and coursework front and center (until they gain more experience). Make sure you delete the contact info icons and stay away from any template Rezi doesn’t explicitly mark as ATS-friendly. .
4. Resume Companion’s targeted resume template
This template is geared toward job seekers who want to call out the specific job they’re looking for by putting the title front and center. It can be downloaded with headers that come in five different color options, including forest green and aquatic blue.
5. Jobscan’s classic format resume template - chronological
Jobscan’s focus is on helping people get past an ATS and, as a result, their templates stick closely to ATS-friendly formatting. The “classic format resume - chronological” is exactly what it sounds like: a basic, classic resume with a focus on your experience in reverse chronological order. The template also comes in a functional format as well as a hybrid format .
6. Career Reload’s Carrie resume template
This template is a solid, traditional choice. Just delete the objective section or make it a summary instead, and change the “Expertise” label to “Skills.” (To download this one, scroll to the green hyperlink that reads, “Download This Template).”)
7. Microsoft Word’s resume template
This simple resume from Microsoft Word is straightforward but adds a few more design elements in the form of horizontal bars to break up the text (though they can also be removed if you prefer).
These resume templates are still pretty basic, but they use color to make key elements stand out and liven up your resume a bit. Pro tip: You can almost always change the color to suit your preferences (or even add a pop of color to any of the other templates in this list).
8. HLoom’s out of the box resume template
This chronological template has plenty of space to include a strong resume summary at the top and reiterate your most relevant skills at the bottom.
9. Career Reload’s Mandy resume template
This simple ATS-friendly template downloads as a Microsoft Word file and has space for a title and summary. Its use of color gives it a bit more zing than some of the more bare-bones options.
10. Career Reload’s Emily resume template
Here’s another Career Reload template that takes advantage of ATS-friendly design elements to give you something a little more unique. But make sure to swap out the “Career Objective” for a “ Summary ” section (or just get rid of it entirely).
11. HLoom’s leading-edge resume template
This ATS-friendly resume template adds some color to help your name, headings, and the places you’ve worked and studied stand out. You can find this resume under the “Simple Resume Templates” heading at the link above.
12. Resume Companion’s elegant resume template
The “elegant” template from Resume Companion injects colored bars to highlight sections but maintains the traditional bulleted format. Note that you can (and should) delete the footer of the document since that information is already at the top.
If you want a sleek, distraction-free resume that lets your skills and experience speak for themselves, check out these basic, no-frills templates.
13. Resume Companion’s minimalist resume template
This entirely unembellished template keeps things as simple as possible but still has room for all of your most relevant details.
14. Resume-Template’s resume template
File format: PDF, Microsoft Word
This is another option with a step-by-step walkthrough that’s good for someone who wants a completely utilitarian resume. Once completed, the resume can be downloaded as a PDF or Word file.Note: You should definitely delete the date of birth section.
15. Instant Resume Templates’ ATS resume template
This site’s template for applicant tracking systems is the lowest of low-frills—but that may be perfectly fine if you’re seeking a no-risk option that still includes everything you need.
16. Microsoft Word’s chronological resume template
This template is another simple option that places section headers on the left and details on the right, creating a good amount of white space. (Note that these columns can be read from left to right, so they’re perfectly ATS friendly.) Just be sure to delete the “References” section—these don’t belong on your resume in 2023.
These templates are perfect for people who want their resumes to stand out from the pack—but still get read by a computer.
17. Cultivated Culture’s Austin Belcak resume template
File format: PDF, Google Doc, TXT
Every Cultivated Culture template is fully customizable—so you can eliminate any elements that aren’t ATS-friendly. We recommend the Austin Belcak template as a starting point. Just be sure to replace the graph-based skills section with a traditional bulleted list.
18. Cultivated Culture’s Melinda Gates resume template
This is another Cultivated Culture template that will get through the ATS with just one change: Delete the “Interests” section to eliminate the columns (you don’t really need it anyway).
19. Super Resume’s template 11
File format: PDF, DOCX, DOC, HTML
If you want columns, this template includes them in a way that can still be read by an ATS. Just be sure to move your name and contact info out of the text box it’s currently in (where it might get missed or garbled by the ATS) and into the body of the resume. You can customize your resume directly in your web browser and download it as a PDF, Word, or HTML file. Not all of Super Resume’s templates are ATS-friendly (some include graphics and columns), but you can also check out “Resume Template 5” and “Resume Template 6” for more options.
20. Gumroad’s chef resume template
File format: PSD, PDF, Word
This template places the most emphasis on the personal summary at the top and keeps the job experience straightforward in the body. It’s ideal for specialized fields in which getting to know the applicant as a person is key (in this case, chefs and restaurant employees who may interact closely with customers and clients, but it can be adapted to any field). Just be sure to tweak the section headings to common ones for your industry.
21. ResumeWay’s free resume template 1100010
This template keeps things short, elegant, and easy to read. The colored graphic at the top adds a nice design element to stand out, especially against a straightforward layout that places your most recent job experience at the top and education and skills below. Just be sure to delete the icons next to the contact information and move it to the body of the resume.
22. Resume Kraft’s simple word resume template
File format: DOCX, PSD, AI
Don’t be fooled by the erasable icons—this template may have a modern look but it keeps things simple and compact. Keep in mind that some ATSs will read your resume from left to right, ignoring columns, so we recommend including either the job title or timeframe in the left column (not both!) and moving the other piece of information to the right.
If you’re early in your career, switching career paths, or in a highly technical field, you may want to spotlight your relevant skills over your past work experience. These templates do just that.
23. HLoom’s functional career change resume template
This template puts less emphasis on your formal work experience, and plays up your accomplishments, skills, and strengths—ideal for someone who is trying to switch careers. It can also be a smart choice for freelancers, or folks who've taken a career gap to focus on family or travels.
24. Resume Companion’s stand-out resume template
This option prioritizes job seekers’ skills, placing that section at the top of the resume. If you’re making a big career change, you can keep the objective section ; otherwise delete it or replace it with a summary statement.
25. HLoom’s substantial functional resume template
File format: DOCX
This template gives plenty of space to both list and expand on your most important skills right up top. Plus the columns are fully ATS friendly and the pop of color will catch the eyes of your reader.
26. Microsoft Word’s functional resume template
This template highlights applicants’ academic histories as well as skills and abilities, making it a good match for a graduate student or anyone in academia. This could also be expanded into a full CV by adding your publications, presentations, conferences, and awards. As always, ditch the resume objective or replace it with a summary!
27. Microsoft Word’s computer programmer resume template
Word’s computer programmer resume maximizes space for computer skills (which you may want to rename “Technical Skills”), education, and experience, which are key for software engineering applicants to include. But you could easily tweak this template to work well in other fields.
28. Find My Profession’s combination resume template
This template emphasizes both skills and experiences, but places key skills most prominently at the top—with room further down to put them in context and expand on your related accomplishments.
29. Microsoft Word’s internal company transfer resume template
If you’re applying for a new job within your current company, the resume you create may emphasize different things than if you were applying to a new employer. Word’s internal transfer resume highlights accomplishments and skills while placing general information (like education) at the bottom. There is some formatting that might trip up an ATS—but if you remove the main resume text from the text box and place it in the body with “match destination format” selected, you should be good to go. Then you can restore the colors if you’d like.
These templates are ideal for people with longer work histories.
30. Jobscan’s mid-level resume template 5
Jobscan created this resume for people who aren’t ready for management just yet but are well past entry-level. This hybrid template places an emphasis on hard skills, but still has room to put those skills in context—perfect for applicant tracking systems.
31. Jobscan’s new executive resume template 3
Rising to the top of the ranks? Jobscan’s “New executive resume template 3” puts an emphasis on results while allowing more space up top to quickly highlight your biggest achievements. This template is more than one page to account for a more extensive work history.
32. Find My Profession’s chronological resume template
This chronological template is good for people with more work experience and it gives space for job seekers to fill in both a position summary and bullet points. You can use this if you want to emphasize key achievements or special projects from your past jobs. Just make sure to delete the “Find My Profession” image from the template.
33. Jobscan’s management resume template 2
This ATS resume template highlights industry knowledge, interpersonal skills, the ability to delegate, and leadership qualities. The summary and skills at the top let you put the most important pieces of a longer work history front and center—for when it’s time for a human to look at your resume.
If you’re just starting out in your career, you might want a template that showcases your education and relevant skills over your past work experience.
34. Jobscan’s recent grad resume template 2
Like many recent grad resume templates, this option places collegiate experience at the top. But it also gives you two sections for work experience (relevant and additional) so that you can place that internship from junior year ahead of your pizza-delivering gig. Jobscan’s other recent grad templates are strong choices as well.
35. Microsoft Word’s recent college graduate resume template
This template is a very simple starter resume that highlights recent grads’ education, skills, abilities, and experience. Just remember to swap out that objective for a resume summary (or delete it).
36. WallStreetOasis.com’s investment banking resume template
This template is geared toward undergraduate students seeking investment banking job opportunities (but it can easily be tweaked for other industries). In just one page, it includes space to list your education, study abroad and/or internship experiences, undergraduate leadership positions, and skills and interests (both personal and professional).
These more stylized templates require the Adobe suite to edit, so they’re not for everyone. Just make sure you save your final resume as a PDF so the ATS can still read it.
37. Smash Resume’s simple two-page resume template
File format: AI
Need a little more space? This two-page template injects more personality with golden accent colors but is still professional. You can make this option even better (for both humans and robots) by nixing the line graphs in the “Skills” and “Language” sections, and sticking to text instead. Since the ATS might read your resume straight across (from left to right, ignoring columns) you should adjust what text you put in the left column so that the text still makes sense if read this way.
38. Graphicsfuel’s clean modern resume template
File format: PSD
Despite a two-column format in the education section (which you can turn into one), the graphs on page two (which you can replace with text), and a photo (which you should remove), this template is a strong choice if you want to stand out without being too flashy. The blue font adds an extra design element but everything else is straightforward and modern.
39. Adobe’s Amanda Danvers resume template
This option requires you to have an Adobe account—but it’s free if you’re already set up. The bold color pattern ensures that you’ll stand out, even with very traditional formatting that places a brief personal summary at the top, experience and education in the middle rows, and skills at the bottom. The Adobe Spark logo in the bottom right corner can be removed.
40. Graphic Pear’s minimal resume template
As always, delete the photo box and stick to text. This option comes with a second resume page and cover letter template you can use if needed. The numbers to the left of the job titles can be removed and the line graphs on the second page can be replaced with text.

Resume Profile Explained (with Examples)
13 min read · Updated on January 17, 2024
Make an impact with a knock-out profile
When it comes to job search success, nothing is more important than ensuring that your resume captures an employer's attention. After all, even the best resumes are useless if no one reads them. Of course, that raises an important question: is there anything you can do to make your resume get the attention it deserves?
In this post, we'll explain how a great resume profile can help you to solve that challenge. We'll explain how a resume profile works, when you should use it in your resume, and how to create a profile that immediately commands interest. Finally, we'll provide several resume profile examples that you can customize and use in your own resume.
What is a resume profile?
If you're already familiar with the resume objective statement or resume summary, then the concept of a resume profile should be easy to understand. Put simply, the resume profile is an introductory paragraph that quickly summarizes your skills and experiences in a way that motivates hiring managers to continue reading your resume.
As you'll discover in our resume profile examples later in the post, a great profile focuses attention on your best skills, experience, and achievements. You can think of it as an elevator pitch for your resume - a quick snapshot that provides just enough information to make the reader want to learn more about you.

What types of resume profiles can you use?
To better understand the resume profile, it may help to look at some of the different types of resume profiles that job seekers can use. There are three different types of common profiles, including the objective statement, summary, and summary of qualifications.
Objective statement
The resume objective statement is often considered obsolete, since it tends to focus more on your career goals than the employer's needs. It's often used by entry level workers with little experience or career-changers who need to explain why their skill set makes them a good candidate for the job. To use it effectively, job candidates need to ensure that they include some language that explains how they can benefit the employer if they're hired. For example:
“Creative social media professional with 3 years of experience and proven results. Skilled in cross-platform engagement enhancement and brand development. Looking for an opportunity to work with a company that prioritizes customer experience and brand loyalty. Experience includes increasing customer engagement by 130% over a six-month period.”

Summary paragraph
The resume summary has replaced the objective statement in most modern resumes - and for good reason. This brief paragraph may also mention one or two key skills, but its primary focus is on detailing your important work experience and measurable achievements. As a result, the summary is a preferred option for job seekers with significant experience, since it's designed to demonstrate your value as an employee. Below, is an example of this type of profile statement:
“Accomplished Project Manager with more than ten years of successful team building and project execution expertise. Skilled in process development, workflow management, and collaboration with stakeholders. Received Agile Leader award in 2018. While at ABC Corporation, developed personnel resource allocation program that increased project efficiency by 48% in the first year of use.”
Summary of qualifications
The third option is the summary of qualifications. The main difference between this type of summary and the summary paragraph involves the format choice. Instead of being one block of text, it combines a brief paragraph with several bullet point examples of notable achievements. For example:
Dynamic Team Leader with 7 years of experience in customer management, problem-solving, and team building. Proven to increase team productivity, enhance the customer service experience, and provide real value to an employer.
- Led 30-person team of technical professionals, with 95% customer satisfaction
- Reorganized project workflow for ABC Corporation, increasing efficiency by 45%
- Developed training program that reduced employee onboarding costs by 17%
What elements should you include in your resume profile?
Before you create a resume profile, it's important to think about the types of information you want to include for your reader. What types of qualification is the employer evaluating as part of its hiring decision? Does the job description focus primarily on core skills ? Do you have achievements that are likely to make a positive impression on the hiring manager?
There are many different profile elements that you can include, so you'll need to prioritize based on the employers' needs. The fact is that you won't have room in your profile to cover all these different types of information, so choose wisely:
Skills that are relevant to the position you're seeking
Your length of experience
Notable achievements, preferably ones that you can quantify with real numbers
Core personal characteristics that make you a good fit for the role
Your career aspirations - preferably noted in a way that shows how they align with the company's vision

Again, make sure that you focus attention on the job posting, taking note of every key skill and experience that the employer cites as required qualifications. You'll want to tailor your profile - and the rest of your resume - to align with those stated employer needs.
Pro tip: Make special note of those job requirements, since you will want to use the same language in your resume. Those keywords are essential for ensuring that your resume can satisfy any applicant tracking system screening the employer might be using.
You should also do some research to learn more about the company's culture. That will enable you to further tailor your resume profile to include personal traits that highlight how well you'll fit into that environment. Sometimes, those little details can make the difference between you and another similarly qualified candidate.
How to write your own resume profile: tips
When you're ready to create your resume profile, it's important to know how to do it the right way. Since it's the first thing employers will see after they're done reading your contact details, you need to make sure that it's as compelling as possible. The following tips can help.
Write this part of your resume last
Even though your profile section will be near the top of your resume, you should still create this important section last. Why? Well, it's simple: since the resume profile serves as a summary of your qualifications, it's helpful to get the rest of the resume done before you start on that summary.
Make it brief
Be as concise as you can. Again, think of this profile section as a salesperson's elevator pitch. It doesn't need to tell your entire employment story, but should instead serve as a brief highlight of your greatest hits. As a rule, try to restrict this paragraph to no more than four sentences. If you use a summary of qualifications, include just one or two brief sentences and three or four bullet points.
Choose the best profile type for your job search needs
Which type of profile should you create? If you're an entry-level employee, you may want to focus on a modified objective statement - one that focuses on your career goals, while highlighting the ways in which your skills can benefit the employer. If you have more experience, you may want to rely on the summary paragraph. Just be sure to include at least one measurable achievement to highlight your value.
If you're switching careers and need to focus attention on transferable skills, you may even want to rely on a summary of qualifications. Those bullet points can be a great way to emphasize specific skills and highlight the value that you've provided for previous employers.
Tailor the profile to your desired position
Make sure that your profile aligns with the job you're seeking. You can do this by including some core keywords from the job posting, detailing your qualifications. However, make sure that your profile ultimately aligns with who you are as an employee. If you take the tailoring to extremes, you may end up with a profile that fails to accurately represent your personality and character.
Don't be afraid to add personality
Speaking of personality, this is the place to add that personal touch. Your skills, work experience, and education sections are not appropriate for adding personality, but a few well-chosen words in your profile can help the employer to better understand you as a person.
Of course, make sure that your personal flourishes fit with the type of job you're seeking. For example, a few words about your fun work style will be appreciated if you're applying for a customer service or similar position. That same language may not be as useful if you're seeking a role in a law firm. Use your best judgment as you determine how much personality to put into any profile.
Use measurable achievements
We've already mentioned measurable achievements several times, but it's important to highlight them once again. Your resume profile should include at least one quantifiable accomplishment, backed by real numbers that demonstrate the value you've provided. For example:
- Implemented new networking system that reduced downtime by 33%, improving both efficiency and productivity and providing 12% cost savings for the company
- Led sales team effort that increased new customer acquisition by 13% while generating $12 million in new revenues in the first six months of the fiscal year
- Created an online customer engagement program that increased website visits by 45%, enhanced new sales activities by 13%, and boosted revenues by 10% within one quarter of implementation
Resume profile examples you can use
As you might expect, your approach to creating a resume profile can also differ based on the type of job you're seeking. That's because different job roles require different skill sets, experiences, and personal qualities.
To get you started, we've compiled resume profile examples covering a wide variety of professions. You can use these professional profile examples as templates for your profile, or simply refer to them for guidance as you create your own unique resume opening.
