This page is about giving you a choice of great Free Resume Template

Free Curriculum Vitae Templates complete with Resume Writing advice.

I would suggest that you don’t even need a pre-built template.

Type your content into your word-processor of choice, in the critical order previously discussed.

Font style simple like Arial size 10 -12 for body content, headings two sizes bigger and bold.

Very basic, very clean; but it works.

You can add a bit of format if you must, but not much; it's the words that count!

If you don't have a word processor get the excellent and free Open Office here.

Functional Resume or Chronological Resume or Combination Resume

Next – decide on the type of layout that best promotes your strengths for your target role.

Chronological Resume Template – Traditional format, the one to use if you have good career continuity with no major gaps, and you are looking to continue your career in a similar field.

Functional Resume Template – Enables you to promote your skills above your experience. A good format if you have career breaks or if you are looking to move in a new career direction where you don’t have experience.

Combination Resume Template – Enables a best of both type approach, where you tailor specific functional skills and experience for your target role as well as demonstrating your career continuity and progression.

Free Resume Templates to Download

The following Templates are in both PDF and Microsoft Word format and are identical.

The PDF versions can be opened by left clicking your mouse over the link.

All of the free Microsoft Word templates have bee put into a zip file which can be downloaded here.

As you will need to edit them, I suggest viewing in PDF and then dowloading all the templates in Word from the zip file.

The PDF documents can only be edited if you have the Adobe Acrobat.

The Microsoft Word Documents can be edited in most word processors and are much easier to work with.
