To create a resume without a template in Microsoft Word:
- Open a new blank document in Word.
- Start by typing your name and contact info at the top.
- Create section headers like “Work Experience,” “Education,” and “Skills” to organize your resume.
- Fill in each section with your information.
To get a polished and professional resume, you’ll need to change the formatting:
- Make each section heading bold and larger (e.g.: 14 pt font)
- Bold your job titles and degree title
- Use bullet points to list your job experience
- Make sure the spacing between each section is consistent
