Fill-in resume template online, ready as a PDF

A fill-in resume template, with no layout worries

Most downloadable resume templates are filled in with a word processor. As soon as your content is longer or shorter than the example, the layout breaks. With a template you fill in online, you enter your background in a form and the template adapts automatically: sections fall into place, dates line up and the page stays balanced.

Four US templates, four uses

Template	Strength	Best for
Harvard	The classic US format, centered name, dates on the right	Large companies, finance, law, government
Boston	A modern single column, skills on one line	Sales, marketing, customer-facing jobs
Chicago	Two columns, skills and certifications on the right	Healthcare, trades, certified roles
Austin	Dense, projects up front	Tech, students, long careers on one page

To choose, see our guide on the resume templates page.

Personalize without breaking the template

• Six suggested colors, or your own, chosen to stay readable on screen and in print.
• Four fonts, serif or sans-serif.
• Three spacing levels: compact, normal or airy, to fit on one page.
• Section order, changeable in one click.
• An optional photo, cropped automatically.

Fill in your template well

A few rules make the difference: a title that matches the target job, a three-line summary, jobs described with an action verb and a result, and specific skills rather than general qualities.

Fill in your template in fifteen minutes

Before you start, gather your information: the exact titles of your jobs, dates to the month, your degrees and two or three measurable results. With these at hand, a complete resume takes about fifteen minutes.

1. The header: name, target job, city, phone and email.
2. The summary: three lines on your experience and what you’re looking for.
3. Work experience: one line per responsibility, starting with an action verb.
4. Education: most recent degree first.
5. Skills and languages: six to ten specific items.

Your resume saves automatically with every change. You can stop at any time and pick up later, on the same device or, once signed in, on any other.
