The designs, by situation

Pick by your situation, not by looks.

Every design carries the same structure underneath, the one built for the scan. The rows are the situations; the differences are the audience each design serves.

By your field

Executive, analytical, and clinical careers, each built for its own screening reality

The price, explained

The launch price ends August 19.

Until then it is $4.50 instead of $17.99. After the sale it settles at $9.99. The shop is new and has no reviews yet, so a low price is how I earn them. The file is identical at every price.

Straight answers

The questions template buyers ask.

Will these actually get past the screening software?
That is what they are built for, twice over. Screening systems parse a resume before any person sees it, so the layouts use structures the software reads cleanly: no tables the parsers choke on, no text buried in graphics. Then comes the harder test, the few seconds of human attention that clearing the software buys you. The formatting is built for that reader too.
What exactly comes with a template?
Your design in one-page and two-page resume versions with a matching cover letter and references page, in three formats: Word, Google Docs, and Apple Pages compatible files. Every template ships with the bonus guides, seventeen pages covering resume writing, interview prep, and over 100 action verbs grouped by the signal each sends, plus the icon pack. Instant download; it opens on your computer without installing anything.
Why is the price $4.50 right now?
Because the shop is new and has no reviews yet, and a low price is how I earn them. The launch sale runs through August 19. After that it is $9.99, and the list price is $17.99. The file is identical at every price.
Which design should I pick?
Pick by your situation, not by looks. Executive for senior roles, Analyst for numbers-heavy work, Nurse for healthcare's older screening systems, and the three photo designs for roles and regions where a photo is expected. Every design carries the same structure underneath: the one built for the six-second scan.
What if I get stuck?
Message us and we answer within a day. That is a committed promise printed on the listings, not a support slogan.
