Copy it to your Drive
Click Copy to Google Docs, then Make a copy on Google's screen. You need to be signed in to Google.
Type over the sample
Replace the name, jobs and bullets with your own. Leave the section headings as they are: a parser uses them to find each section.

It isn't a score and it won't predict Workday. It catches what scrambles resumes: tables, columns, text in headers, bullets that turn into odd symbols. How we test

Questions
- Does Google Docs have resume templates?
- Yes, five of them. Open the Google Docs home screen, click Template gallery at the top and scroll to Resumes. Ours are separate from Google's: each one has a cover letter and references page in the same style, comes in US Letter and A4, and has been run through a parser.
- Which resume template should I use?
- If you're not sure, start with Plain or Classic: one column, standard headings, fits most jobs. Students and new graduates do well with Student or Jake's, which put education first. If you have more than ten years of experience, Compact fits more on one page. Outside the US and Canada, use the A4 CV templates.
- Do I need an account here?
- Not for templates. There's nothing to sign up for, and we never ask for your email to get one. You only need an account to buy AI tailoring.
- Can I use these for clients?
- You can send our links to anyone. Using the templates to deliver resumes to paying clients needs a coach license. See the terms.
