Our free resume templates below are designed to help you prepare a professional resume using Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, or Google Docs. Our Resume Template can be described as 'professional', 'elegant', 'modern', 'classic', or 'contemporary'. It is all those things, but it is also easy to work with. Most importantly, our resume templates don't contain fancy colors or unique formatting styles that might identify your resume as having come from a resume template repository.
We encourage you to read through the resume tips and guidelines for resume writing on Vertex42.com before using any resume template. You should also browse through as many sample resumes as you have time for, especially those related to your field or position. The more resumes you look at, the more ideas you will have for how to craft your own. Even if you only have basic skills with Word, you should be able to recreate almost any professional resume that you find using one of our two templates.
⤓ Download⤓ Google DocsDescription: This resume format uses a table in Microsoft Word (without borders) to place the main section headings (Objective, Experience, Education, etc) in a narrow column on the left-hand side of the resume. This is a very popular method for formatting resumes. The table format can let you have more section headings without using up as much space as the outline format.

Description: In this resume template, instead of using tables, you use margins, tabs, and indention to format your resume. Lines under the main section headings are recommended. The outline format is often easier to customize and edit and can be converted to a text-only resume fairly easily.

How to Use our Resume Templates
If something strange happens when you make a change to a format, like everything turning into bullets, immediately press Ctrl+z (undo) to cancel the automated formatting. You might also want to check your AutoCorrection or AutoFormat settings.
I created these templates from scratch using a minimal set of Styles in Microsoft Word. You can modify the Normal style to change the font from Arial to Times New Roman. You can modify the Heading 1 style to change between All Caps, Mixed Case, Small Caps, or to modify the border line. In the Outline Format, the left margins for the Title, Contact Information, and Heading 1 styles are set to -0.25'.
How to Choose a Resume Template
Choosing a resume template is NOT the first step in writing your resume. You shouldn't sift through sample resumes to try to find the best looking resume template and then try to make your details, skills, and qualifications fit a specific format.
When choosing a resume template:
- Avoid unique formats and styles. You should generally avoid anything that will make the employer think that you used a template. Our resume templates are designed using a general style to help avoid this problem.
- Beware of hidden file property information. If you submit your file electronically, file property information may be searchable in a database. The two resume templates above don't contain any hidden file property information. We will just trust that after you delete the note at the top of the template, you will still abide by the terms of use.
- Be aware of scannability. Many templates use italics and underlining, both of which can cause problems when a template is scanned and OCR'd.
- The safest advice might be to only use a resume template to get an idea of how to create your own from scratch.
Regardless of what type of resume you choose (chronological resume, functional resume, curriculum vitae, etc.), your two main options for laying out the content are either the outline or table format. I have seen nice looking resumes that use both formats within the same file, but you have to be careful to remain consistent and clear.

The HTML tables allow web authors to arrange data like text, images, links, other tables, etc. into rows and columns of cells.
The HTML tables are created using the <table> tag in which the <tr> tag is used to create table rows and <td> tag is used to create data cells. The elements under <td> are regular and left aligned by default
Example
This will produce the following result −
Here, the border is an attribute of <table> tag and it is used to put a border across all the cells. If you do not need a border, then you can use border = '0'.
Table Heading
Table heading can be defined using <th> tag. This tag will be put to replace <td> tag, which is used to represent actual data cell. Normally you will put your top row as table heading as shown below, otherwise you can use <th> element in any row. Headings, which are defined in <th> tag are centered and bold by default.
Example
This will produce the following result −
Cellpadding and Cellspacing Attributes
There are two attributes called cellpadding and cellspacing which you will use to adjust the white space in your table cells. The cellspacing attribute defines space between table cells, while cellpadding represents the distance between cell borders and the content within a cell.
Example
This will produce the following result −
Colspan and Rowspan Attributes
You will use colspan attribute if you want to merge two or more columns into a single column. Similar way you will use rowspan if you want to merge two or more rows.
Example
This will produce the following result −
Tables Backgrounds
You can set table background using one of the following two ways −
- bgcolor attribute − You can set background color for whole table or just for one cell.
- background attribute − You can set background image for whole table or just for one cell.
You can also set border color also using bordercolor attribute.
Note − The bgcolor, background, and bordercolor attributes deprecated in HTML5. Do not use these attributes.

Table Header, Body, and Footer
Tables can be divided into three portions − a header, a body, and a foot. The head and foot are rather similar to headers and footers in a word-processed document that remain the same for every page, while the body is the main content holder of the table.
The three elements for separating the head, body, and foot of a table are −
- <thead> − to create a separate table header.
- <tbody> − to indicate the main body of the table.
- <tfoot> − to create a separate table footer.
A table may contain several <tbody> elements to indicate different pages or groups of data. But it is notable that <thead> and <tfoot> tags should appear before <tbody>
Example
This will produce the following result −
Nested Tables
You can use one table inside another table. Not only tables you can use almost all the tags inside table data tag <td>.
Example
Following is the example of using another table and other tags inside a table cell.
This will produce the following result −
