Where can I get free resume templates?

At Kickresume we offer free resume templates which you can customize according to your needs, provided that you stick to the free customization options.

To access free resume templates, create a free account with Kickresume and select a template you want to customize. You can then fill in your information and download your resume an unlimited number of times, still for free. Unless you want to use a premium feature, you won't have to pay at all.

Our templates are designed by expert typographers to ensure optimal readability, are visually appealing, and ATS-friendly.

What is the best resume template?

The best resume template is one that ensures a resume is easily scannable, has clearly labeled sections, and a fitting structure. All that while being visually appealing.

That's why the templates we offer at Kickresume are all designed by expert typographers to ensure optimal readability, a visually-appealing design, and an optimization for ATS software. No matter which template you pick.

Nevertheless, there's no one-size-fits-all template. While people in a creative industry (eg. fashion, social media) should aim for a resume that catches the eye, other industries (eg. finance, law) may prefer a more conservative design.

Are these resume templates ATS-friendly?

Yes! All of our resume templates are optimized for ATS softwares and designed by expert typographers. The resume templates have clearly labeled sections, use ATS-friendly fonts, and have an option for you to add phrases tailored for the job description and to add key skills. You don't need to worry about your resume getting lost and never getting to a human recruiter.

An Applicant Tracking Software (ATS) is a computer software that is used by companies during the hiring process. It collects resumes from candidates, scans them for attributes, and filters out the ones that don’t match them. However, with Kickresume's resume templates this won't happen.

How to make a resume with Kickresume?

It's very simple: First, you sign up or log in to your account. When logged in, click on My Documents. Then click on Resumes and click on + New Resume.

Alternatively, you can also choose to:

  • Create a new resume with AI Resume Writer which is able to generate your entire resume based on a provided job title.
  • Import your existing data from LinkedIn and choosing your preferred design to create resume with LinkedIn.
  • Use one of our existing resume samples and tweaking the details to match yours.

If you're not sure about how to write the individual sections of your resume, you can visit our Help Center or read the ultimate resume guide.

Which resume template should I use?

The majority of our templates are quite universal and you can't go wrong with any of them. They come in a wide range of different design styles, ranging from creative and unique to simple and conservative. And anything in between.

There's no one-size-fits-all ultimate resume template. Choosing the best template for you depends on the kind of industry you work in. While in creative industries (eg. fashion, social media) candidates should aim for a resume that catches the eye, more traditional industries (eg. finance, law) may prefer a more conservative template.

Here are examples of resume templates for any occasion:

  • Creative: Pipeline, Bubbles, Hoth
  • Regular: White, Minimalistic, Europe
  • Conservative: Ios, Black, Reed
