10 Best Templates to Land Your Next Job
Creating a resume from scratch can be frustrating and tedious, especially when you have limited design experience. If you want a professional but interesting-looking resume, you’re in luck. In this article, we’ll explore different Google Doc resume templates you can use to nab your next job.
10 Google Doc Resume Templates
7. ResuStudio’s Google Docs Resume Template
10. ResumeGenius’ Chicago Resume Template
10 Google Doc Resume Templates
Google Docs offers five templates with impressive design elements to help you portray professionalism and originality in your resume. These templates are included in this list, as well as five additional templates from other sources that you can easily edit in Google Docs.
Even if you have the design all set, these templates provide formatting inspiration and fill-in-the-blank sections to ensure you don’t forget critical information, like your address or prior awards.
Take a look at these Google Doc resume templates to choose one best suited for your desired role or to get some inspiration before designing your own.
1. Swiss
The Swiss resume template is primarily traditional in style, but the color and bold lines make it appear more modern and impressive. The dark lines above and below each segment organize your sections effectively, and the small lines above each section title add some unique style.
What We Like: The simple color right below your name suggests you’re someone who pays attention to detail. This template is a solid option if you need a resume for a conservative role but also want to showcase some personality.
2. Serif
The colors used for each headline and the two parallel columns with plenty of white space in between suggest that you’re organized and creative. This resume template is a good option for high school or recent college graduates with less work experience since the template provides categories to showcase accolades and accomplishments outside the workplace.
What We Like: This template allows young professionals to make up for their limited experience by highlighting their awards and projects.
3. Coral
The formatting, with all the information left-indented in one column, looks clean and straightforward. This option is ideal if you’re applying for a corporate job but want to seem fresh and unique.
What We Like: The color used in the coral template isn’t overbearing or immature but still spices up an otherwise basic resume.
4. Spearmint
With the bold green line at the top of the page, this template conveys someone who’s spirited and artistic. Spearmint is a fantastic option for anyone applying for a creative role, such as a web designer or creative director.
What We Like: The consistency of the title colors is appealing and polished.
5. Modern Writer
You’ll only want to choose the statement-making Modern Writer as your template if you’ve got a good reason for it — for instance, if you’re applying for a web developer role, the font (which looks a bit like code) makes sense. The bold pink and Source Code Pro font are less ideal for a traditional role, but Modern Writer is a good option if you’re applying for a role that applauds uniqueness.
What We Like: The code-like font is a clever and unique touch that will capture the attention of recruiters.
6. The Muse’s Resume Template
The Muse made its own resume template on Google Docs for users to plug their information into. The template is very straightforward and shows users exactly what information they should plug in and where in the template it should go.
What We Like: The blue heading font is an eye-catcher.
7. ResuStudio’s Google Docs Resume Template
If you’re willing to pay a few extra dollars for a sleek, classy, and professional resume template, then ResuStudio’s template may be perfect for you. This template is also available in two pages for those further along in their career.
Pro Tip: Make sure to remove the “References” section — employers know they can ask for references if interested, so a section like that only wastes valuable space.
8. Canvas Resume Template
This template neatly divides each section of your resume, making it easy for a recruiter or employer’s eye to follow along and read. This resume is excellent for anyone applying to a job at an office that is professional but enjoys a bit of creativity.
What We Like: This template is well-organized and includes a section to highlight any awards you received throughout your career.
9. Geometric Resume Template
This resume is clean, organized, and sure to make you stand out. Its distinct technical look is excellent for job seekers applying for opportunities in tech.
Pro Tip: While the pink and purple font colors combined with the geometric patterns make for a unique resume, it’s important to remember that these features can disrupt ATS scanners.
10. Chicago Resume Template
Sometimes less is more, and choosing to forgo bright colors and unique patterns can make it easier for employers to focus on the actual content of your resume. This resume may be your best option if you’re applying to a traditional office position or a Fortune 500 company.
What We Like:This resume’s simple design gives ample space to flaunt your experience, especially if you’re a seasoned professional with a long career.
You’re ready to create an excellent resume to get your next big gig. Good luck with your job search!

Trends in Content Localization – Moz
Multinational fast food chains are one of the best-known examples of recognizing that product menus may sometimes have to change significantly to serve distinct audiences. The above video is just a short run-through of the same business selling smokehouse burgers, kofta, paneer, and rice bowls in an effort to appeal to people in a variety of places. I can’t personally judge the validity of these representations, but what I can see is that, in such cases, you don’t merely localize your content but the products on which your content is founded.
Sometimes, even the branding of businesses is different around the world; what we call Burger King in America is Hungry Jack’s in Australia, Lays potato chips here are Sabritas in Mexico, and DiGiorno frozen pizza is familiar in the US, but Canada knows it as Delissio.
Tales of product tailoring failures often become famous, likely because some of them may seem humorous from a distance, but cultural sensitivity should always be taken seriously. If a brand you are marketing is on its way to becoming a large global seller, the best insurance against reputation damage and revenue loss as a result of cultural insensitivity is to employ regional and cultural experts whose first-hand and lived experiences can steward the organization in acting with awareness and respect.

More promotions and more layoffs
For martech professionals salaries are good and promotions are coming faster, unfortunately, layoffs are coming faster, too. That’s according to the just-released 2024 Martech Salary and Career Survey. Another very unfortunate finding: The median salary of women below the C-suite level is 35% less than what men earn.
The last year saw many different economic trends, some at odds with each other. Although unemployment remained very low overall and the economy grew, some businesses — especially those in technology and media — cut both jobs and spending. Reasons cited for the cuts include during the early years of the pandemic, higher interest rates and corporate greed.

Be that as it may, for the employed it remains a good time to be a martech professional. Salaries remain lucrative compared to many other professions, with an overall median salary of $128,643.
Here are the median salaries by role:
- Senior management $199,653
- Director $157,776
- Manager $99,510
- Staff $89,126
Senior managers make more than twice what staff make. Directors and up had a $163,395 median salary compared to manager/staff roles, where the median was $94,818.
One-third of those surveyed said they were promoted in the last 12 months, a finding that was nearly equal among director+ (32%) and managers and staff (30%).
Extend the time frame to two years, and nearly three-quarters of director+ respondents say they received a promotion, while the same can be said for two-thirds of manager and staff respondents.

Employee turnover
In 2023, we asked survey respondents if they noticed an increase in employee churn and whether they would classify that churn as a “moderate” or “significant” increase. For 2024, given the attention on cost reductions and layoffs, we asked if the churn they witnessed was “voluntary” (e.g., people leaving for another role) or “involuntary” (e.g., a layoff or dismissal). More than half of the marketing technology professionals said churn increased in the last year. Nearly one-third classified most of the churn as “involuntary.”
Men and Women
This year, instead of using average salary figures, we used the median figures to lessen the impact of outliers in the salary data. As a result, the gap between salaries for men and women is even more glaring than it was previously.
In last year’s report, men earned an average of 24% more than women. This year the median salary of men is 35% more than the median salary of women. That is until you get to the upper echelons. Women at director and up earned 5% more than men.
Methodology
The 2024 MarTech Salary and Career Survey is a joint project of MarTech.org and chiefmartec.com. We surveyed 305 marketers between December 2023 and February 2024; 297 of those provided salary information. Nearly 63% (191) of respondents live in North America; 16% (50) live in Western Europe. The conclusions in this report are limited to responses from those individuals only. Other regions were excluded due to the limited number of respondents.
