ATS-Friendly Resume & Cover Letter Templates (Word) — 5 Styles, Letter + A4

Beat the resume screener — templates built to be read by Applicant Tracking Systems, not just by humans.

Most "beautiful" resume templates use two columns, text boxes, and tables that look great to you but get scrambled by the ATS software that reads your resume first. This pack is different: every template is single-column, uses standard section headings, and keeps your experience in the order a parser expects — so your achievements actually make it through.

What's inside (23 files): 5 professional styles (Classic Serif, Modern Sans, Minimal, Executive, Technical), each in US Letter and A4 sizes; a matching cover letter for every style and size (10 cover letters); a one-page ATS Checklist PDF to self-check before you apply; all editable Word (.docx) that works in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages.

Why ATS-friendly matters: at most mid-to-large companies, software reads your resume before any recruiter does. Multi-column and text-box-heavy designs frequently get parsed wrong, and strong candidates get filtered out over pure formatting. These templates remove that risk by design.

How to use: open a style you like, replace the placeholder text with your own, keep the single-column structure — done. Full instructions and license included.
