Now that the search is over, I want you to know that I have had more responses to my resume in the last 3 months than at any other time in my career. I have had multiple responses to cold call mailings. (a ten-fold increase over previous cold job searches)... Excellent!! I am a faithful supporter of your work.

Hi Michelle: hope you are well. Just a head’s up that I’ve referred about 10 people from Xxxxxxx to you. Hope a few turned into clients. I never let you know that thanks to your services I was ‘one for one’ — one resume sent, one interview, and one job offer! That’s all it took! Happy holidays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—and that’s one of the biggest advantages of using Distinctive Resume Templates. As the creator (Michelle Dumas), I’ve reviewed countless templates on the market and found most to be incompatible with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)—the software that screens resumes before a human ever sees them. Our templates are professionally designed with ATS in mind, based on current best practices. While no template can be guaranteed to pass every ATS system (there are hundreds), ours have been carefully crafted to maximize compatibility and minimize risk—while still looking amazing to human readers too.

Most AI resume builders generate generic, cookie-cutter resumes that sound robotic, lack personality, and often fail to meet applicant tracking system (ATS) standards. The truth is, relying on those tools can actually hurt your chances more than help them.

This toolkit offers something entirely different. You’ll get clear, step-by-step instructions on how to use popular AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude (many of them free!) in a smart, strategic way. Instead of letting AI control the process, you’ll learn how to direct the AI with over 150 expertly written prompts that guide it to help you write a resume that is:

  • Tailored to your unique experience and goals
  • Optimized for ATS compatibility
  • Professionally formatted using real-world resume templates

It’s the best of both worlds: the power of AI + the expertise of a professional resume writer, built into a simple, repeatable system.

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage you to customize the colors to reflect your personality and brand. Color updates are simple—you don’t need design skills, and we include video tutorials to walk you through everything. Just a couple of clicks and your entire resume color scheme updates instantly.

Yes! These templates are designed to be fully flexible and easy to customize, unlike many others on the market. Add, remove, rename, or reorder sections based on your individual career story. Everything is editable, and we include step-by-step tutorials to show you how.

Definitely. The Toolkit includes dozens of examples, prompts, and strategies designed specifically to help students with little or no work experience highlight transferable skills, academic achievements, and extracurricular involvement in a powerful way.

Yes! If you’re early in your career, making a career change, or still working in entry-level roles, this Toolkit is 100% relevant. You’ll learn how to craft a compelling resume that reflects your growth since graduation and positions you for your next step. If you are a seasoned professional, executive, or making a complex career change, we invite you to check out our other Toolkits.

Yes! In addition to offering DIY resources, we also offer personalized, professional resume writing services. If you’d rather have an expert take the reins, we’re happy to help. You can learn more here.

Yes. Our templates are built specifically for Microsoft Word, which remains the industry standard for resume formatting and submission.

While other tools like Canva, Google Docs, or Pages may seem convenient, they often introduce formatting issues, are not ATS-compatible, and can create resumes that don’t render correctly when submitted to employers or uploaded to job boards. In fact, using the wrong software can significantly hurt your chances of getting interviews.

If you don’t currently have Microsoft Word, don’t worry—it’s available for around $9/month, and it’s well worth the investment for any serious job seeker.
👉 Read this post to learn more about why Microsoft Word is the best—and safest—choice for your resume.

Yes, they’re fully compatible with Microsoft Word on both Mac and PC. Just be sure you’re using the desktop version of Word, not the online version, for full functionality.

Absolutely. These templates are designed to be plug-and-play. You don’t need any special skills—just open the template and follow the guided prompts. Our step-by-step guides and video tutorials make it even easier.

Instantly! As soon as your purchase is complete, you’ll receive a download link so you can start transforming your resume right away.

Forever! This is a one-time purchase, and you’ll be able to reuse the templates and guidebooks again and again throughout your career.

There’s no need to wait—especially while it’s available at a limited-time discounted price. You can prepare your resume now so you’re ready when the right opportunity appears. Many people also use the templates to build a “master resume” they can pull from when tailoring for specific jobs later.

We’ve got you covered! Every Toolkit includes step-by-step instructions, video tutorials, and tips to help you succeed. If you still need help, our support team is here for you.

Because the Toolkit is a digital product with instant access and downloadable files, all sales are final, and we are unable to offer refunds. We encourage you to review the product details carefully before purchasing.

That said, we’re fully committed to your success. If you run into any issues or need help using the templates, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to support you every step of the way.

USER REVIEWS

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.
