What Is a Resume Template?
A resume is a one-to-two page summary of your work history, skills, and education, written to get you an interview for a specific job. This template uses a simple, applicant-tracking-friendly layout: a header with your contact details, then Summary, Experience, Education, and Skills sections in that order.

Tips

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a resume be?
One page for most job seekers with under 10 years of experience. Two pages is acceptable once you're mid-career or in a senior role, but three pages is rarely read in full — trim older or irrelevant roles rather than stretching to fill space.
What's the difference between a resume and a CV?
A resume is a short, targeted 1-2 page summary aimed at a specific job. A CV is longer and covers your full academic and professional history, including publications and references — common for academic, medical, or international applications.
Do I need a professional summary at the top?
It helps, especially if a recruiter only skims for a few seconds. Lead with your job title and years of experience rather than a generic statement like "hard-working team player."
How far back should my work experience go?
Most guidance suggests going back 10 to 15 years. Older roles are usually less relevant to what you're applying for now and can be cut to save space for recent, more impressive work.
Should I include references on my resume?
No. Leave references off entirely and have a separate list ready if an employer asks for one later in the process — including them upfront just uses space better spent on your experience.
