The free One Page Resume Template opens in the Kloora CV Maker so you can edit it online and download a PDF or Word file with no signup.

Who this one page resume template is for

This layout suits early career applicants and anyone with under ten years of experience. If that is not you, the CV Maker has 22 templates, and you can switch at any time without losing what you typed.

What to put in it

A sample summary

Here is a short summary you can adapt:

> Marketing coordinator with 3 years of experience in email and social. Strong in copy and reporting.

Keep your own summary to two or three lines. Name your role, your years of experience and your strongest skill.

Three sample bullet points

Strong bullets start with an action word and end with a result.

Notice that each line has a number. Numbers make your work easy to believe and easy to compare.

A mistake to avoid

Shrinking the font below 10 points to fit more. Cut older content instead.
