Resume examples: what the template can’t do for you

A template decides where things go. What gets you interviews is what you put in it. Compare two bullets from the example above:

Weak: “Responsible for warehouse operations and carriers.”
Strong: “Negotiated carrier contracts that lowered outbound freight cost by $410K a year.”

The strong version starts with a verb, names the task and ends on a number. The bullet point builder walks you through that formula, and the summary examples cover the top of the page.

What every template here gets right

Single column, so parsers read it in the right order (see the ATS parsing demo).
Job title, employer and dates on one line, where a recruiter’s eye lands first.
Standard headings and contact details in the page body.
Readable at 10–11pt with margins wide enough for printing.

Questions people ask

Are these resume templates free?

Yes. All three templates are free to use and download as PDF, with no watermark and no account.

Which resume template should I use?

Anvil for conservative fields (law, finance, government, academia), Steel for most modern industries, Rivet when you have a lot of experience to fit on one page. All three are equally readable by ATS software.

Do these templates work as CV templates?

Yes. Open any template in the CV maker to get A4 paper and UK/EU section names like “Personal profile” and “Employment history”.

Why no photos or skill bars?

Photos are discouraged in the US, UK and Canada because of anti-discrimination rules, and skill bars and icons are unreadable to applicant tracking systems. Every element in these templates is plain text that a parser and a person can both read.
