TOP-QUALITY RESUME TEMPLATE...ATS-FRIENDLY...EASY TO USE & CUSTOMIZE...EYE-CATCHING, MODERN FORMAT

TOP QUALITY RESUME TEMPLATE SO EASY TO USE AND CUSTOMIZE THAT NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW YOU USED A TEMPLATE

Quality Resume Template for Standout Professional & Executive Resumes

Most free resume templates available in MS Word and on the internet are not quality templates and the old adage is true: in many ways, you get what you pay for. The same is true of many resume templates available for sale. But, as a job seeker, how do you know what is quality and what isn’t? The wrong choice can spell doom for your job search.

When you are shopping for a quality resume template you can feel confident when you use a template from Distinctive Resume Templates. Designed by an award-winning professional resume writer with more than a quarter-century of experience, our resume templates such as the Gold Quality Resume Template available in this collection are designed for real-world use.

A poorly designed resume template will often cause problems in applicant tracking systems. While our Gold Quality Resume Template includes eye-appealing graphical design elements, they are included in ways that will not negatively impact the ATS performance of your resume. While other resume templates might look good to an unsuspecting job seeker, unless they have been designed by a professional resume writer who understands ATS requirements, such as our Distinctive Resume Templates, you may do your job search more harm than good.

Other important features of these resume templates are their flexibility and ease of use. Every job seeker brings a unique set of qualifications to the job market. Poor resume templates tend to be cookie-cutter and inflexible, forcing the job hunter to fit their experience into a format that does not showcase their qualifications in the best light.

Because Distinctive Resume Templates have been created by a professional resume writer for other professional resume writers, they have each been designed for real-world use and maximum flexibility. The Gold Quality Resume Template in this collection, just like all our templates, can be easily customized for a variety of professional uses.

You have endless color choices when you use the Gold Quality Resume Template. By default, it comes with a striking gold and black color scheme, but this can be easily changed with just a couple of mouse clicks.

Yes—ATS compatibility is one of our top priorities. While no template can be guaranteed to work perfectly with every single applicant tracking system (there are hundreds!), our templates follow current best practices and work well with most systems.

There’s a lot of outdated and incorrect advice out there. Our resume designs are the result of decades of experience, ensuring they’re not only ATS-friendly, but also visually impactful to human readers.

To learn more, I encourage you to read the many articles about resume design and applicant tracking systems on our blog.

Yes. All templates are built in Microsoft Word (.docx) and require the desktop version of Word for full functionality.

While other tools like Canva, Google Docs, or Apple Pages may seem convenient, they often break formatting, introduce ATS compatibility issues, and don’t display resumes correctly across devices and systems.

If you don’t have Word installed, it’s available for as little as $9/month, and is well worth the investment—it’s still the industry standard for resume writing and submission.

WHAT OUR TEMPLATE USERS SAY

Appearances matter, even with the written word, and how a document looks can make an immediate impact on the decision to read it or toss it aside. I train and mentor many excellent resume writers who have mastered the art of crafting highly effective resume content, but who lack the basic MS Word skills to create eye-catching, ATS compatible and uniquely branded documents. Distinctive Templates are the perfect solution for easily transforming well-written content into works of art that capture attention, generate interest, and motivate the recipient to read every word.

While I primarily write resumes from scratch for each of my clients, I have also used Michelle’s templates and received great feedback. I find the templates are especially helpful to organize my thinking for those clients who have an overabundance of important information that still must fit in an ATS-friendly, 2-page format without looking cluttered or disorganized.

When I was starting out with resume writing a little over a year ago, one of the most intimidating aspects was visual design of resumes. I didn’t want to have to learn graphic design to stand out—and with these templates, I didn’t need to! I was a little hesitant at first because I thought the templates might be too rigid or generic. In actuality, they are incredibly flexible and easy to play around with. I can customize any template with my client’s favorite colors in just two clicks—which means they never look exactly the same, even if I use them for multiple clients. Using the templates means I can just do what I do best—write—and then plug the text right into the appropriate section. It saves me literal HOURS of work and hassle. One of the best parts about purchasing from Michelle is that she is extremely responsive to questions. There’s a private Facebook group where she records screen share tutorials about how to switch up certain elements in the templates, and she’s always been responsive to my emailed questions. My clients are completely thrilled with the unique, modern design of their resume, and I’m thrilled that I’m saving time and don’t have to learn graphic design!

I love Michelle’s resume templates! The designs are eye-catching and easy to use. I highly recommend these templates for anyone who finds that designing a creative, contemporary formatted resume is a challenge. They’re a huge time-saver.

I used the “Pivot” template to create a combination functional/chronological resume for my first big client. Her words when she saw the finished product: “THIS IS AMAZING!” I’m a writer, not a designer. My resumes aren’t unprofessional, but they needed a “wow” factor – and now they have it. Thank you, Michelle, for offering such affordably priced tools!
