Resume and Cover Letter Template

Here are two VERY basic templates for a resume and cover letter, created in Google Docs for you to use to get started on your first resume and cover letter.

• Resume Template

• Cover Letter Template

They’re designed to be easy to read (for the people hiring you) and easy for you to adjust with minimal effort, so you can tweak them to fit any job posting quickly.

To make your own copy of either file, open the file, then click File in the top left corner, then Make a Copy to save it to your own Google Drive.

Alternatively, you can click File, then Download it as a Microsoft Word Doc and edit it on your own device.

Please note: These templates are not meant to look fancy. In fact, fancy design can sometimes make it challenging for hiring managers to skim your resume, so even if you adjust these to fit your style, make sure to keep it easy to read!

If these aren’t your vibe, feel free to check out the Harvard resume templates! Those are also helpful, but personally, they do not fit my needs and preferences.
