Questions Are these templates ATS-friendly? They are designed with that in mind: one column, real selectable text, plain section headings, standard bullets, and no tables, text boxes, icons or images. No template can guarantee how every applicant tracking system reads a file, so review your export before applying.
Can I switch templates later? Yes. Your content is stored separately from the style, so you can change between Modern, Classic and Minimal on the Style step at any time without retyping anything.
Do the templates cost anything? No. All three templates, the matching cover letter and PDF, Word and plain-text downloads are free, without an account.
Can I edit the template in Word or Google Docs? Yes. Download Word (.docx) from the builder. The file uses Word’s own heading and bullet styles, so it stays editable in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice.
