Frequently asked questions

Will this pass Workday / Greenhouse / Lever?

These templates use a single-column, plain-text-friendly layout (no tables, text boxes, or graphics) so common ATS parsers can extract contact info, skills, and bullets. Always paste your final file into the free matcher with the job description to catch wording gaps.

Is it really free?

Yes. All three levels (Entry level, Junior, Senior) are free to preview, copy, and download as Word (.docx) or .txt — no signup required.

Should I list certifications I'm still studying for, like Security+ or CISSP?

List only certifications you actually hold. Put an “in progress” certification on its own line if you want credit for it, but keep it clearly separate from earned ones — ATS parsers and recruiters both read that distinction literally.

Word or Google Docs?

Download the .docx for Microsoft Word, or open the same file in Google Docs (File → Open). Prefer .txt or a text-based PDF when a portal warns about complex formatting.
