Choosing the right template

So how do you pick the ideal template when you have 279 to choose from?
- First, consider your industry. The resume template that you choose should be appropriate and professional for the job that you are applying for.
- Next, think about what type of job you are applying for. What are the most important skills they are looking for: innovation, creativity, organization, or analytical skills? If your resume portrays the particular attributes a hiring manager is looking for, he or she will inadvertently be drawn to your profile and take a closer look at your content.
- Lastly, once you have narrowed down the template based on industry and specific skills, make the final decision based on what you like. Pick a sample that shows a little bit of your personality. Ultimately you want to pick a layout that displays your skills and experience in the best light but also adds a personal touch.
