If you need help creating a resume or cover letter, start with one of the dozens of professionally-designed resume and cover letter templates that are available in Word.
Making a resume like this while you're online is quick and easy.
Note: This template comes with a cover letter, so you'll have everything in one document.
Choose one of our resume templates, and open it in Word for the web to make it yours.
Tip: If you're already in Word for the web, get to the resume and cover letter templates by going to File > New, and then below the template images click More on Office.com.
You'll be on the Templates for Word page. In the list of categories, click Resumes and Cover Letters.
As you work on the resume, you'll probably want to rename it.
The template uses a table to line everything up. If you need to add more lines for job experience or education, add rows to the table by going up to Layout under Table Tools and clicking Insert Below (or Insert Above).

When you're finished, print it out or share it online. You can do this with the resume still open in Word for the web. No need to save it first (that's already done for you).
To print it, press Ctrl+P, and wait for the Print dialog box.
Note: If you don't see a Print dialog box, click the link for opening a PDF version of your resume. From there, use the PDF program's Print command.
To share it online, send a link:
Under Choose an option, click View only.
Tip: If you have a blog or website, you can embed a view of your resume there.
