160 designs · free PDF and Word

Resume templates in Word format

Every design here downloads as a Word .docx file as well as a PDF, so you can make last edits in Microsoft Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs. Fill the template in online first: the builder lays out the sections, fonts and colours for you, and the Word file keeps real headings and text rather than a picture of a page.

When is a Word resume the better choice?

Word is useful when a recruiter asks for an editable copy, when a portal only accepts .doc or .docx, or when you want to tailor the resume for each job offline. Single-column designs stay the most stable once you edit in Word; two-column ones can shift slightly as text changes.
