USING A RESUME TEMPLATE ON WORD

Resumes Using Word • Similar process. Go to “File”, click “New”. When that dialogue

box opens, scroll down on the left side and click “Resume”

Resumes Using Word • You will have 3 options. For this assignment, select “Basic

resumes”

Resumes Using Word • You will have 25 templates to choose from, but I suggest using one of the first 12
