The Marlowe Resume Template Kit gives you a complete, matching set of job application documents for Microsoft Word and Google Docs. You get a resume in 1, 2 and 3 page versions, a cover letter, a references page and an interview thank-you letter. Each one comes with a photo design and a no-photo monogram design, plus a clean ATS-friendly resume for online job portals.
It’s built for people who want to look polished without fighting with the layout. Open a file, type over the sample text, save it as a PDF and send it. That’s it.
What makes this resume template different
Most resume templates are built from floating text boxes. Add one extra line and something disappears behind a box or falls off the page. Marlowe is built from simple tables instead, so the page grows with your words. When you add a bullet, everything below it moves down neatly. If you write more than a page, it flows onto the next one.
It also uses real Word styles. Want a different color or size for every section heading? Change the Heading 1 style once and every heading in the file updates.
Who it’s for
- Job seekers in the US and Canada who need a no-photo resume (the monogram and ATS versions)
- Applicants in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, where a professional photo is expected
- Recent grads building a first one-page resume
- Managers, nurses, teachers and senior staff who need two or three pages
- Career changers who want a projects section to show what they can do

You’ll need a computer to unzip and edit the files. Editing on a phone isn’t recommended. Word for the web can’t use fonts installed on your computer, so your name shows in a plain font there; desktop Word with the fonts installed, or Google Docs, gives you the full look. Google Docs doesn’t support letter spacing, so names and headings sit a little tighter there.
Customization
Everything is editable: text, colors, fonts, section order and spacing. Rename a section by typing over it. Move one by cutting and pasting. Add a job by copying an existing one. Swap colors by picking the Mocha, Sage or Navy file, or set your own with Font Color and cell shading.
Real ways people use it
- A nurse applying to three hospitals sends the 2-page monogram resume with a matching cover letter and references page.
- A marketing manager uploads the ATS version to a corporate job portal, then brings the designed photo version to the interview.
- After an interview, a candidate sends the thank-you letter the same evening, using the follow-up timeline from the toolkit.

Frequently asked questions
Does this resume template work in Google Docs?
Yes. Upload the .docx file to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs. Both fonts are already built into Google Docs.
Do I need Microsoft Word?
No. Google Docs is free and works well. If you use Word, install the two free fonts included in the download first.
Is there a resume without a photo?
Yes. Every resume, letter and references page has a monogram version with no photo, and there’s a separate ATS resume too.
Is the ATS resume really ATS-friendly?
It’s a single column with standard headings and no tables, text boxes or images, which is the layout screening software reads most reliably.
Can I change the colors?
Yes. Pick from Mocha, Sage or Navy, or set any color you like in Word or Google Docs.
Can I add a second page?
Yes. Use the 2 or 3 page version, or keep typing and the content flows onto a new page.
