Five résumé designs inspired by old film title cards: soft serif names, quiet colour, and plenty of white space. Each one has a matching cover letter, so your application looks like one set.

The five designs:

• Matinee: cream header band, two columns, rust accents

• Reel: charcoal sidebar with gold section titles

• Credits: centred single column; recommended by the included guide for ATS submissions

• Intermission: monogram sidebar in rose

• Final Draft: screenplay-style typewriter layout, single column; another guide-recommended option for ATS submissions

Included:

• 10 editable .docx files (5 résumés + 5 cover letters) that open in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice

• 10 print-ready PDFs that show the intended look

• Résumé Writing Guide (PDF): which design fits which kind of job, a formula for result-focused bullets, and a check before you send

US Letter, switchable to A4. Uses only free Google Fonts (Instrument Serif, DM Serif Display, Abril Fatface, Atkinson Hyperlegible, Courier Prime). The sample person and employers are fictional.

For ATS submissions, start with Credits or Final Draft as the included guide recommends. Parsing varies by the receiving system; no layout has a compatibility guarantee.

Licence: use the templates for your own job search or to prepare résumés for paying clients; unlimited end documents. Do not resell or redistribute the template files as templates, edited or not.
