About ReadableResume

Who runs it

I'm Super Lede. I run ReadableResume on my own: I make the templates, run the parser tests and answer the email. Where the site says “we,” that's me.

What's here

Free resume templates for Google Docs. Each of the 20 sets has a resume, a matching cover letter and a references page, in US Letter and A4. There are also 20 filled-in examples for specific jobs. You can copy any file into your own Google Drive or download it as a .docx for Word.

Accounts

You don't need an account with us to use a template. Copying a file puts it in your own Google Drive, so you need to be signed in to Google for that. The .docx download needs no account anywhere. AI tailoring is the one part with accounts: signing in keeps your purchases in one place, and you can also buy without one.

How the templates are tested

A template goes live only after its sample passes. A script downloads the sample from Google Docs as a PDF, the same file you'd get from File > Download, and OpenResume, an open-source resume parser pinned to one version, reads it. Every field has to come out the way it was written. Each template page shows the result field by field, including what the parser can't read. It isn't a score, and it doesn't stand in for hiring systems like Workday or Greenhouse.

How we test has the full method. The scripts, the exact files and the raw results are in a public repository, so anyone can rerun them.

How the site makes money

The templates are free. The site earns from AI tailoring: you paste your resume and a job posting, and get back a resume and cover letter rewritten for that job, built only from what you gave. It's $4.99 for one job or $9.99 for five, paid once. There's no subscription, and there are no ads or affiliate links. Refunds and the rest are in the terms.

Email hello@readableresume.com. Write if you find a mistake in a template or a guide, a broken link, or a template that looks wrong after you copy it.

Career centers and libraries can link to any page or share the copy links with students. A career center that wants a co-branded set can write to the same address, and we'll agree the details in writing.
