Resume Templates – Good Ones!
In the lecture, I stressed NOT to use a template when creating your resume, but I also understand that starting your resume from scratch can be difficult!
Here, you will find four resume templates in Word that you can use to create your resume. The reason these templates work is that you can open, modify, and save anything on these you would like to fit your needs.
If you are going to use a template to create your resume, PLEASE use one of these versions instead of the ones you will find elsewhere (like Word, Canva, and random internet sites).
