FREE TEMPLATES · DOCX AND PDF

Free ATS resume and CV templates

Five plain, single-column templates with clearly marked placeholders. Download the DOCX to edit in Word or Google Docs, or the PDF to see the finished layout.

What every template has in common

  • One column, no tables or text boxes. Text is read top to bottom in the order you see it; dates sit on a right-aligned tab stop, not in a table.
  • Standard headings. Summary or Profile, Skills, Experience and Education: names applicant tracking systems and recruiters already look for.
  • Real text, not images. Every word, including your name and contact details, is selectable text in the body of the page, not in a header, footer or graphic.
  • Common fonts. The DOCX uses Calibri, which Word and Google Docs both offer. The PDF embeds Noto Sans with selectable text.

Applicant tracking systems differ by employer, so no template can promise how a particular one reads your resume or CV. This layout avoids the features that most often cause trouble. Once you have filled it in, you can check it against a job description with the free ATS resume checker.

Download the DOCX, then in Google Docs choose File → Open → Upload and select the file. It converts into a Google Doc you can edit and later download as a PDF or DOCX. No Google account is created or used by ROLIVA for this.

Rather fill it from your confirmed facts?

ROLIVA’s Resume Studio uses this same single-column layout. Upload your current resume, review and confirm each fact it finds, then build a version for a specific role. Only facts you have confirmed are used, and nothing is added for you.
