Free ATS Resume Templates

Single-column Word and PDF downloads engineered for Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever parsers — no signup, no email gate.

Why this format works

01

Single column

No tables, text boxes, icons, or skill bars that break ATS parsers.

02

Standard sections

Summary, Experience, Skills, Education — labels parsers recognize.

03

Contact in body

Plain text at the top — not hidden in Word header/footer regions.

Three ways to use the template

Reorder sections based on your career stage — recruiters focus on the top of page one.

Entry level

Freshers & interns

Lead with Education and Projects, then Experience and Skills. Best for campus placements and <3 years experience.

Mid level

3–10 years

Experience first, then Skills and Education. Aim for one to one and a half pages with quantified bullets.

Senior

Leadership track

Experience and accomplishments lead. Two pages is fine when every bullet shows company-level impact.

Template types on Vurzel

Every download uses the same ATS-safe skeleton — one column, standard headings, plain-text contact block. Role samples differ in pre-filled bullets and skills so you start closer to your target job.

Blank ATS template

Empty sections with placeholder labels. Best when you already know your structure and want a clean Word file.

Role-specific samples

108 job titles — engineer, nurse, CA, teacher, pilot, and more. Replace fictional names, companies, and metrics with your real details.

Before you submit

  • Replace every placeholder in italic brackets on the blank template.
  • Export PDF only after verifying text is selectable (copy all → paste into Notepad).
  • Prefer DOCX when the job portal allows it — parsers read Word more reliably than designed PDFs.
  • Read our ATS-friendly resume guide for full formatting rules.
