ATS-FRIENDLY...EASY TO USE & CUSTOMIZE...EYE-CATCHING, MODERN FORMATS

A PREMIUM, CUSTOM-DESIGNED, SOPHISTICATED RESUME TEMPLATE FOR MICROSOFT WORD

A Sophisticated Resume Template for Board Candidates & Experienced Professionals

The Abundance Resume Template is a great choice as a sophisticated resume template for a board candidate or any other experienced professional or executive.

This sophisticated resume template includes lots of space to call out your personal brand and differentiating strengths and accomplishments.

The graphic in the right corner can be easily customized with your top three personal brand traits. This graphic will be ignored by applicant tracking systems, so if the brand traits are important for keyword purposes, they should be repeated somewhere in the body text.

The Key Qualifications section, as well as the Personal Brand statement section, are made using white text in the body of the resume (meaning it will be “read” by an ATS) overlaid with gold boxes. These gold boxes will be ignored by ATS too, while the text under them will be “read.” ATS-compatible resumes do NOT need to be plain and generic. A sophisticated resume template like Abundance CAN be ATS compatible as long as it is properly constructed.

The gold coloring of Abundance adds to its sophisticated eye appeal, but you can make it your own and customize the colors easily, to match your personal brand. The Abundance resume takes on a whole new “look and feels” when you change the colors and you can easily change the colors of the biography template and letterhead template to match as well.

Like all our templates, everything is easily customizable. Just copy and paste to add sections or rename or delete sections to make Abundance your own.

If you are still wondering whether you should use a template for your resume, take a look at the dramatic difference this template makes on this example CFO resume designed with the template.

Available separately, the Abundance executive biography template and letterhead template are designed to coordinate with our Abundance Resume template. See all templates in the collection:

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There’s a lot of outdated and incorrect advice out there.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.

📚 Read more on why Word is the best format here.

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.

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!

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.
