Hi Again!! I am in search of online resume templates that allow one to type up and print a resume FOR FREE. I am in search of a part time job (I get off from my full time job at 6:00 pm evenings). I also am helping hubby with with resume since his company is moving in a couple of months and he will apply for new job as well. I used a free service about 3 years ago but I cannot for the life of me remember the name or where I found it. When I get started at some of the listed sites I get ready to print and have to PAY. Any ideas? Thanks!!

What can I do next?

Definitely use what's on your computer in Word.

Alternatively, or if you don't like the ones you see, ask a few friends to send you their resumes, and just edit/plug in your own info. Then be sure to delete theirs so you don't accidentally send one off by mistake.

And please, please, please, have at least 2 other people proofread these for you, for everything from spelling to inconsistent spacing to punctuation. These should not be your friends, but should be people who are old-school spellers and punctuators, and not people using spell check! You'd be amazed at the errors I come across in my work, and I have several friends in HR who see the most common errors that are really inexcusable. HR directors and recruiters toss out resumes and cover letters of people who didn't take the time to get it right, because it indicates to them that people don't even care enough about their own image, let alone the prospective company's image. Even someone who is a good speller will miss stuff in their own work. My husband is a career writer, and he gives me everything of his to proof before it goes to the client, agent or publisher. You'll benefit from taking the time to do this.

I use Word, and you can use one of their already included templates. I just looked and there are 28 of them included in my version of Word. They are all free because they came with the software, and they are fine. They aren't super fancy, but IMHO, as long as your resume is organized and easy to read, it's a good template.

If you have the resume file you used 3 years ago, you should be able to update it with his (or your) latest work history.
If you only have a printed version of it - you can have it scanned into a document that you can update.
It's always useful to keep files like that handy - archive it, keep it on an external disk drive if you don't have space to keep in on your computer - and keep it updated for just such an emergency.

I haven't looked for them recently but Word use to have downloadable resume templates that use to be free - I'm not sure if that's changed but it's worth checking out.
Good luck and happy job hunting!

My Microsoft office has templates of all kinds. Have you looked on your word processing program? You can format and print on your own computer.

There are plenty of resume templates on my computer, in Word. If you have a Mac I'm sure there are templates there as well. If not they usually have resume help at the local library or community center. Also there are tons of free ideas online, if not templates.
