The Crestwell Career Kit is an ATS-friendly resume template bundle for Microsoft Word with everything you need to apply with confidence. You get five resume layouts, a matching cover letter, a references page, an interview thank-you letter, an Excel job search tracker with a live dashboard, and a 14-page Resume Writing Companion. Every document shares one polished navy-and-gold design, so your whole application looks consistent and professional from the first page to the follow-up.
Each template is built with a clean single-column layout, real Word heading styles and guided [bracketed] prompts. No text boxes, no fiddly layouts and no design skills needed.
Why Choose This ATS Resume Template Bundle?
Most resume templates give you a pretty page and leave you to work out the rest. Crestwell gives you the design and the method. Every resume placeholder is a writing prompt, such as [Action verb] + [what you did] + [measurable result], so you write achievements instead of duties. The included tracker then keeps your search organized, so you know which applications need a follow-up and which job sources actually get replies.
- Passes the software, impresses the person. A single-column layout with standard section headings and real, selectable text that applicant tracking systems can read.
- A layout for every career stage. From first job to the boardroom, every layout keeps the same look.
- Restyle in one click. Built on Word Styles. Change a color or font once and the whole document updates. Five color palettes are included.
- Prints at home. The header band sits inside the page margins, so it prints cleanly on any home or office printer. No full-bleed printing needed.
- Two paper sizes. Every template comes in US Letter for the US and Canada, and A4 for most other countries.
