Template

It's important (at least in my opinion) for your resume to be visually appealing and unique.

Your resume isn't a design contest, but think about it: it's going to sit in a digital stack of 30 other resumes. If the other 29 resumes are black text on white background with 12-point New Roman font, even just adding a splash of color to yours will make it stand out. Remember, we're all about standing out.

Resume Template Examples

Here are a few resume templates that can be a good starting point. Feel free to use one, or to find/create your own. Pick something that you think looks good, and that you think will make you stand out just a little bit.

Keep in mind that these aren't good examples of content, they are just ideas for design and layout.

Assignment

Find a template that you like, and copy the style into your document.
