The Linen Resume Kit is a resume template with photo for Microsoft Word and Google Docs, built for people who want a resume that looks finished without fighting the formatting. Soft sand tones, wide-spaced headings, and a round photo give it a calm, professional feel. Underneath the looks, every part has a job: a results strip that shows your impact in two seconds, a contact band that keeps your details tidy, and real Word heading styles you can restyle in one click.
You get a full set of matching documents, so your resume, cover letter, references, and thank-you letter all look like they belong together.

Who it is for
Job seekers who want a modern, professional resume template they can finish in an afternoon. It suits office, healthcare, education, project management, sales, customer service, finance, operations, and creative roles. New grads can use the 1 page version and delete what they do not need yet. Experienced managers get a 2 or 3 page layout that still reads cleanly.
Resume template with photo: features that make a difference
Fonts that travel with the file
Many resume templates break the moment you open them because the fonts are missing. Linen embeds Raleway and Lato inside every Word file, so the design shows up right away. Google Docs already includes both fonts.
Photo or no photo, your choice
In the US, Canada, and the UK most recruiters prefer a resume without a photo. In much of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East a photo is normal. Every color comes in both versions, so you are covered either way. In Word, right-click the photo and choose Change Picture. The circle shape stays.
A results strip under your summary
Three big numbers, such as money saved, people led, or percent growth, sit right under your career summary. Recruiters see your impact before they read a single bullet.
Placeholder text that teaches
The blank templates do not just say “Lorem ipsum”. Each placeholder tells you what to write, for example how to start a bullet with a strong verb and end it with a number.
A tracker that tells you what to do next
Log each application and the tracker works out your follow-up date, days since you applied, and an Action column that says Follow up now, Prep interview, or Reply to offer. The Dashboard shows your response rate, offers, weekly goal, and charts of which job sites bring interviews. You choose the currency symbol once on the Settings tab and every money value uses it.
How it works
- Download the zip for the color you like. Each one holds US Letter and A4, with and without a photo.
- Open the file in Microsoft Word, or upload it to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs.
- Type over the placeholders. Add, move, or delete sections as you need.
- Save as PDF and apply. Track every application in the bonus tracker.
File formats and software
- Resume and letter templates: Microsoft Word (.docx). Open in Word 2016 or newer (Windows or Mac), Microsoft 365, or Google Docs (free).
- Job Application Tracker: Excel (.xlsx). Works in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.
- Job Search Playbook: Word (.docx) and PDF.
- Icons: PNG and SVG. Fonts: TTF.
- Apple Pages can open Word files, but we have not tested the layout there, so we recommend Word or Google Docs.
Easy to customize
Change any text, rename section headings, swap the photo, copy a job block to add another role, or delete a section you do not need. Headings use built-in Word styles (Heading 1, 2, and 3), so you can change the font or color of every heading at once. Want a different look? Simply open one of the other three color themes.
Real situations where it helps
- Applying online to a large company: send the ATS version through the portal and bring the designed version to the interview.
- Changing careers: use the summary formula in the Playbook to explain where you are heading.
- Returning after a break: the Playbook shows a calm, honest way to list a career gap.
- Applying abroad: switch between US Letter and A4, and between photo and no photo, in seconds.
- Juggling many applications: the tracker reminds you who to follow up with each week.
