Resume Template 4
Resume Template 4 is in a scannable,
technical format. "Technical" resume template typically
means "information-technology"
resume template these days, but the format works for other technical
jobs too.
In this case, it's essentially a combination format with a Skills
section near the top. But you can easily convert any of the other
resume templates into a technical resume format, by emphasizing
your technical skills and qualifications in one or more sections
near the top. See Resume Formats for
more information.
You may download Resume Template 4 for free and modify it for
personal use. It's an RTF file, which is compatible with most word
processors (such as Microsoft® Word) and safe to download.
But first, please read the Important notice below.
It includes the download link.
If you'd prefer a technical resume template that has the headings
listed above the sections, see Resume
Template 8. Refer to Resume
Templates for the formats and styles available for
downloading.
Because of differences in the way that Web browsers and word processors
display pages, the resume template format (line spacing, margins,
fonts, etc.) displayed below differs somewhat from the download
version, which is better formatted.
If you copy and paste this resume template from your screen instead
of downloading it, then the format might not stay intact. Copying will pick up background Web-page
formatting that might not be understood by the software application
into which you paste it.

OBJECTIVE |
[This resume template section
is often omitted in modern resumes. Whether or not
to include it is up to you. But it might be better
to start your resume with what you can do for employers,
verses implying what they can do to help you meet your
objective. Delete this section from the resume template
if you don't use it. Otherwise, describe your career
goal in one to three brief sentences. For specific
job openings, tailor your objective (and your entire
technical resume) to closely match each job description
without embellishing.] |
| SUMMARY |
[Summarize your most important
qualifications in a few sentences. Alternately, highlight
them in the bullet (•) list below, one per bullet.
(Ideally, summarize here, then highlight specifics
in the bullet list.) If you're applying for a specific
job, tailor them to the requirements in the job description,
as closely as possible without embellishing. Incorporate action
words and industry-standard keywords.
If needed, rename this section to better fit what you
write, such as Profile, Qualifications or Background.]
|
SKILLS |
[Summarize your most important
technical skills, certifications or both. Alternately,
highlight them in the bullet lists below. (Ideally,
summarize here, then highlight specifics in the bullet
lists.) If you're applying for a specific technical
job, tailor this section to match the job description.
Incorporate action words and
industry-standard keywords.]

experience, move this whole section to just below
the Skills section; for example, if you're fresh
out of school with little career work experience.]
- If you've earned certifications or completed special
technical training instead of a college degree, delete
this part of the education section and use the one
below.
[Certifications or Technical
Training]
[School Name, City, State if appropriate]
[Optional brief description]
- [List certifications or technical training credentials
you've earned, in addition to your college degree
if you have one.]
- [But if you've highlighted certifications or technical
training credentials in a previous section, don't
simply repeat same here. Instead, use this part of
the education section to provide details or just
delete it.]
- [Rename this section as appropriate.]
|
[EXTRA] |
[Optional extra section
for what you think is important to emphasize; for example,
relevant military experience, awards or membership
in career-related professional organizations. (Personal
hobbies and interests are no longer included in U.S.
resumes, because they have too-often given the wrong
impression.) If this section is more important than
another, move it up in your resume. Delete this section
from the resume template if you don't use it.]
|
REFERENCES |
References available on
request. [This resume template section is often omitted
in modern resumes. Employers now assume that you'll
provide references when asked. If you want to keep
it anyway, just delete this bracketed text.] |
