ATS Resume Templates Bundle | 6 Editable Word, Google Docs Layouts (Instant Download)

📄 SIX ATS-SAFE RESUME TEMPLATES — INSTANT DOWNLOAD

Most resume templates are built to look good. These are built to be read —
first by the software that filters your application, then by the person on
the other side of it.

Files are on your Downloads page the moment you buy. Nothing ships, nothing
to wait for.

WHAT YOU GET — 8 FILES

Six editable layouts (.docx), one for each situation:
· Classic — most people, most jobs. Start here if you're unsure.
· Modern — same structure, centred header, a slightly softer look.
· Compact — eight or more years that still needs to fit one page.
· Senior — leadership roles, built to run to two pages without padding.
· Graduate — education and projects lead, for little or no work history.
· Career change — transferable skills sit above work history.

Plus:
· Start Here guide (.pdf) — which layout is yours, how to edit it, what to
leave alone, and how to write bullets that get you interviewed.
· Plain text version (.txt) — for application forms that strip formatting
or ask you to paste your resume into a box.

Etsy limits a listing to five download slots, so the six layouts arrive
together in one zip folder. The Start Here guide, the Classic layout and
the plain text version download on their own — so you can open the guide
and start writing straight away without unzipping anything.

WHY THESE PARSE WHEN PRETTY TEMPLATES DON'T

Four structural choices do the work. None of them are visible to the human
who opens your PDF — they only matter to the software that decides whether
a human ever sees it.

· Single column. Two columns get read straight across, so your sentences
interleave into nonsense.
· Contact details in the body, not the header. Many systems never read the
header region at all.
· Dates aligned with a tab stop, not a table. Table cells get flattened into
one unreadable string.
· Real bullet list formatting. A typed bullet character is a symbol; a list
is structure, and structure is what gets read.

No tables, no text boxes, no icons, no skill rating bars, no photos.

IT TELLS YOU WHAT TO WRITE, NOT JUST WHERE

A blank template with the word "Summary" on it doesn't help. Every section
here comes with a prompt in grey italic text explaining what belongs there.
Replace it with your own words and it turns black. When nothing grey is
left, the resume is finished.

HOW TO EDIT

1. Pick the layout that matches your situation — the guide decides it for
you in one table.
2. Open in Microsoft Word, or upload to Google Docs (File → Open → Upload).
Also opens in Pages and LibreOffice.
3. Replace the grey prompts with your own details.
4. Delete any section that doesn't apply, then save as PDF.

No Canva, no subscription, no design app. These are ordinary Word documents,
which is exactly why they behave predictably everywhere.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED

Do I need Microsoft Word?
No. Google Docs opens and edits them for free, and so do Pages and
LibreOffice. Word is just where they were built.

Will this guarantee my resume passes the filter?
No honest seller can promise that. Filters differ, and what you write
matters as much as the format. What these remove are the structural reasons
a resume fails before anyone reads it.

Can I change the colours and fonts?
Yes, freely. Keep the four structural rules in the guide and change
everything else.

Can I resell or share these?
No. They're for your own job applications. Reselling or redistributing
isn't allowed.

When do I get the files?
Immediately. This is an instant download — the files are on your Downloads
page the moment your payment goes through.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

It won't write your resume for you, it can't invent your experience, and no
template can promise you interviews. What it can do is stop good experience
from being thrown away by software before a person ever sees it.

Would rather it was written for you? I do that too — the done-for-you
rewrite is in my shop.
