Resume templates
Free Resume Templates
These ten templates are on the free plan: build and edit your resume in any of them without a card, with a live preview as you type. They cover the classic looks — a modern single column, a traditional serif, a minimal page, a two-column layout and a bold header — so a free resume does not have to look like one. Downloading the finished file is part of Resumade Pro, or a €0.99 24-hour pass on the web if you only need it once.
Best for: Anyone who wants to build and polish a professional resume before paying for anything.
When a free template is the right choice
- You want to draft and refine your resume now and decide on Pro later.
- You are applying to a handful of roles and do not need the full catalog yet.
- You want to try the builder and the free ATS scan before you pay.

Who a free resume suits
The free templates suit anyone who wants a solid draft before deciding whether to pay: students, career changers testing a new direction, and people applying for one or two roles. Between them they cover the layouts most applications need, from a plain single column to a two-column page.
How to lay out a free resume
Start with the layout closest to your industry’s norm (a classic or minimal page for conservative fields, a modern or bold header for startups and creative roles), fill in each section, and use the live preview to check where the page breaks. Keep the summary short and the bullets specific: a free template with sharp content beats a premium design with vague content every time.
What to emphasise
- Content first: a clear target role, recent results and the skills the posting asks for.
- The free ATS scan, to check your draft against a real job description before you apply.
- One accent colour, used consistently.
- Clear section headings and consistent dates, which matter more than the template you choose.
Common mistakes
- Switching templates again and again instead of improving the wording.
- Leaving sample text behind. Delete every placeholder line before you apply.
- Sending the same resume, unchanged, to every posting.
