Complete Resume & Cover Letter Kit – Word & Google Docs

Who it's for

• Job seekers who want a matched resume, cover letter, and references page without designing anything.
• New grads and career changers who want the Fill-in Guide's section-by-section tips and action verbs.
• Anyone applying through online forms who needs a plain-text resume alongside the Word/Google Docs version.

All three resume styles (Classic, Modern, and Simple) in one download, each with a matching cover letter and references page, plus a thank-you note template and a plain-text resume for online application forms. Edit everything in Microsoft Word or free Google Docs.

Features

• Three original styles: Classic (Cambria, centered name, thin black rules), Modern (Calibri, one dark accent color), and Simple (Arial, no color or rules, bold headings).
• Each style is a matched set: a one-page resume template, a cover letter template, and a references page that share fonts, margins, and heading style.
• Example versions of each resume and cover letter, filled with fictional sample content, plus a PDF preview of each.
• Thank-you note template: two short versions to paste into an email (after a phone screen and after an interview), plus one printable letter version in the Classic style.
• Plain-text resume (.txt) with the resume structure as plain text, for pasting into online application forms.
• Fill-in Guide PDF: Quick Start for Word and Google Docs, section-by-section writing tips, a bullet formula, about 60 action verbs, tips for new grads and career changers, how to tailor your resume to a job posting, how to save as PDF, a proofreading checklist, and a privacy tip.
• Optional sections (Certifications, Projects & Volunteer, Languages) can be deleted, and the guide explains how to extend a resume to two pages.

The resumes and cover letters are Letter size, portrait. The Fill-in Guide explains how to change the paper size if you need to.

Formatting is done with Word's built-in styles, so you can restyle a whole document by changing one style. No photos, icons, tables, text boxes, or graphics.

Works with Microsoft Word 2016 or later (Windows and Mac), Word for the web, and Google Docs (upload the .docx file to Google Drive, then choose Open with > Google Docs). Not made for Canva or Pages.

ATS-friendly formatting: single column, real text, standard headings, no tables or text boxes. No template can promise how a particular employer's system will read your file.

Uses standard fonts already in Word and Google Docs; nothing to install.

This is the English edition. Also available in Spanish as a separate product at the same price: Kit Completo de Currículum y Carta de Presentación.

Templates and writing tips only. Not career or legal advice. Results depend on your experience and on each employer; no interview or job offer is promised.

Personal use: use these templates for your own job applications. The resumes and letters you create are yours. Do not resell, share, or redistribute the template files.

Digital download; nothing is shipped. If a file is damaged, won't open in a program listed above, or isn't the file you ordered, email mike@doonerdesigns.com and we'll replace it or refund your purchase. Not downloaded yet? You can ask for a refund within 14 days of purchase. Refund policy
