You can use your preferred word processor or text editor to customize your free resume template. We recommend upgrading to a professionally designed resume template from our Resume Builder to eliminate the risk of layout distortions that can occur in word processors.

Good resume templates for the functional format should include different skills sections, such as the “Summary of Qualifications” and the “Professional Skills.” Combination Format: If you have a few years of experience or are changing careers but can point to relevant skills, use this resume format, which balances skills with work experience.
