Read: Busting the Resume Template Myth Once and For All
Every person’s experience in life is unique. In order for these templates to best fit your particular journey, you’ll need to choose one that reflects and promotes your personal skills and work history.
Our templates can be tailored to any type of job in any industry, and they can also be modified to fit each of the 3 primary resume formats used by job seekers.
We understand that the web is filled with fantastic and creative resume template designs, so we’re happy you’ve decided to explore what we have to offer. We are proud of the designs we’ve created, and hope that you enjoy our professional selection of templates that went live only earlier this year.
If you feel like creating your own resume, that’s fine too. Readability is king when creating a good one – it is the most important factor, followed by how the resume itself is structured to showcase your best experiences and conceal your negative ones.
Why Use a Resume Template?
You may have read on the Internet that it’s inappropriate to use a resume template when sending out job applications. You’ll hear these arguments:
1. It shows you’re lazy and uncreative, and unable to design your own.
Wrong, it shows that you’re efficient (creating your own is fine, too).
2. Since your experience is unique, a resume template won’t cut it.
Wrong again. Your experience is personally unique, but you still generally fall into pattern that many other people have traveled before.
3. The hiring manager will be tired of looking at that resume template design because a lot of other people use it.
That hiring manager should be fired. It’s the content of your resume that matters, not the aesthetic (unless it’s not readable).
We hope that clears up any misconceptions you may have had. We invite you to scroll back to the top and choose from one of our many templates and start writing. We have seen how effective job hunters have been at landing interviews with our resume templates, and we hope you’re able to replicate their success.

Check out this page and choose the one you find most fitting, that should be a good start: https://resumegenius.com/resume-formats

Hey Resume Genius. I have been an accountant for 15 years, and have earned both an MBA and CPA. 7 years ago I took a risk and changed careers. I went back to school and earned a degree in teaching. My teaching position was eliminated, I’ve been out of work for a year, and would like to get back into accounting. What resume style and template would you recommend in my situation?
Resume Genius
Hey there hbil036,
You’d likely want to go with a functional resume — https://resumegenius.com/resume-formats/functional-samples-writing-guide.
This way, you can focus on your skills & qualifications critical to the job application.
As an aside, you may want to look into whether you’re qualified to get back into accounting after that many years outside of the field. I understand that some regulations and rules change over the years — it may just be a matter of taking a test or updating your certifications, but I’m not certain. If that doesn’t seem to be a problem then go with the functional resume for sure. Good luck on the job hunt!

I have huge gaps in my work history, spending 10 years attempting to work professionally as an actor in Hollywood. I’ve worked for dozens of marketing companies over the last 8 years as an independent contractor in promotions and experiential marketing (mostly field manager and supervisor positions).

I am in the tourism and event management field and am at a stage in life where I no longer want to hold an upper management role in a big company.

I downloaded a couple of the combination zipped folders but when I tried to open the documents inside I get an error message and can’t open them. Can you please advise and help? Thanks!
Resume Genius
Hi Diana,
A combination resume is indeed the perfect format for transitioning into a consulting role. It will simultaneously emphasize both your experience and skillset to any potential clients.
As for the zipped folders, where exactly did you download them from? We tried downloading them ourselves from the combination resume format page and had no issues opening the zipped file: https://resumegenius.com/resume-formats/combination-resume-samples
It may be an issue with the unzipping program on your computer itself. Hope this helps!

Hi Amy,
You should consider using a career-changer resume template: https://resumegenius.com/resume-templates/career-level-life-situation-templates#career-changer-templates
It focuses more on your relevant skills for the job (as opposed to work experience), so your 21 year work gap won’t be as much of an issue to hiring managers.
If you’d like to get back into teaching, you should also consider getting re-certified before applying to jobs. Hope this helps!

Kathryn Skilling
Hi there! I have used a template downloaded from your site, but my email in the header reads: xxx@@gmail.comjohndoe. Any advice on how to get rid of the ‘johndoe’? I’ve tried saving in different formats and when uploaded to websites it pops back up. Unfortunately, this is making my resume look bad and clear it was a format previously. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Resume Genius
Hi Kathryn,
Do you know which template it was that you had a problem with? You should be able to just edit the header and delete it.
Please let us know!

I have 25+ years of experience in Marketing and Communications, but during that time, I also taught related courses online. I’m finding it hard to showcase the teaching on a chronological resume without looking like I messed up on the dates.
Resume Genius
Hi Jackie,
You would benefit from using a functional resume format: https://resumegenius.com/resume-formats/functional-samples-writing-guide
You can use it to create different sections for each of your skillsets – one for marketing and communications, and one for teaching. That way, you can show off everything you have to offer and avoid writing an awkward professional experience section. Hope this helps!

Hi dear, which resume suitable for working holiday in NZ? please advise. thanks you
Resume Genius
Hey May,
If you’re seeking a working holiday in an industry different from your current one, then we recommend a functional resume: https://resumegenius.com/resume-formats/functional-samples-writing-guide
Functional resumes are great for working in a different field, because they focus on your skills and abilities.
We hope this helps!

Bernice Harris
Hi, I was wondering which resume template you would recommend for a teacher who has been teaching for 13 years and wanting to change school districts?
Resume Genius
Hi Bernice,
We honestly recommend all of our resume templates in your case—they’re all battle tested and ready to be deployed!
In terms of resume format, because you’ve worked in the same field, we would recommend you use a chronological format resume.
Good luck with the move to a new school district!

Nikki
I am an experienced PMP with 10+ years in automotive field project management and am looking to move into bid coordination for Strategic meetings management and corporate travel. My current skill set translates to the field but is an industry change.
Resume Genius
Dear Nikki,
We recommend you try a functional resume: https://resumegenius.com/resume-formats/functional-samples-writing-guide
They’re perfect for situations when you’re looking to change industry because they emphasize skills and abilities rather than which companies you previously worked for.
Hope this advice proves useful!
