USING A RESUME TEMPLATE ON WORD
Resumes Using Word • Similar process. Go to “File”, click “New”. When that dialogue
box opens, scroll down on the left side and click “Resume”
Resumes Using Word • You will have 3 options. For this assignment, select “Basic
resumes”
Resumes Using Word • You will have 25 templates to choose from, but I suggest using one of the first 12
basic resumes, because the ones at the bottom are more career/education specific. When you decide on one, click “Download”. Then fill in the blanks and adjust to fit your needs!
