Resume & Cover Letter Set — Three Word Designs

The Resume & Cover Letter Set gives you three designs for three kinds of employer: Classic for traditional firms, Modern with a coloured sidebar for design-led companies, and Minimal for when the content should do all the work. Each comes with a cover letter that matches it.

All six are plain Word documents built with styles and tables rather than text boxes, so they stay tidy when you edit them and read cleanly in applicant-tracking systems. The sample resume and letter show the level of detail that gets interviews.
