Applying online means your resume meets software before it meets a person. The Everett ATS resume template kit is built for both. You get a clean, single-column resume that applicant tracking systems can read without scrambling, and a calm, polished look that hiring managers enjoy skimming. Everything opens in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, so you can start editing in under a minute.
Inside are five matching documents: a one-page resume, a two-page resume, a cover letter, an interview thank you letter and a references page. Each comes in US Letter and A4. That’s 10 editable files, plus an 18-page user guide that walks you through every step.
What This ATS Resume Template Kit Does for You
Plenty of pretty resume templates fall apart in hiring software. Two columns, icons and text boxes look great in a listing photo, then get read out of order or skipped. Everett keeps the design simple where it counts. One column. Standard section headings. Real text all the way through.
It still looks premium. Your name sits in an elegant Georgia serif with a bold rule under your contact details. Section headings are set in spaced capitals. Dates line up on the right edge on a real tab stop, so they don’t drift when you edit.
Who It’s For
- Job seekers applying through online portals, LinkedIn and company career pages
- Recent graduates and students writing a first professional resume
- Experienced professionals who need two pages for a longer track record
- Career changers who want a neutral layout that works for any industry
- Anyone who wants matching documents without paying a resume writer
Main Benefits
Easy to edit, even for beginners
Every placeholder tells you what to write. Instead of “Lorem ipsum,” you’ll see prompts like “Start with an action verb, say what you did, then show the result.” Type over it and the formatting stays exactly as designed.
Built on real Word styles
Your name, section headings, job titles and body text each use a named style. Change the heading color or font once and the whole document updates. No hunting through every line.
No fonts to download
The templates use Georgia and Calibri, which come with Microsoft Office and are built into Google Docs. Nothing to install, and no surprise font swaps when you open the file on another computer.
Tested in Google Docs
We opened the files in Google Docs to check them. Fonts, bullets and right-aligned dates carry over. The only difference is that Google Docs doesn’t support letter spacing, so headings look a touch tighter.
