Resumes & Cover Letters
Two documents land the job — a clean resume and a matching cover letter — and both live here, free and editable in Microsoft Word and Google Docs. Browse 50+ resume categories organized by role, cover letters organized by style, situation, and role, and the guidance to put the packet together.
“Job hunting is stressful enough without fighting a blank page, so I keep this library stocked with resume layouts for nearly every job people actually apply for — each one built around what that field’s hiring managers screen for first. If the role you need is missing, tell me and I’ll build it.”— David, Apollo’s Templates

Where you are
Letters for the situation you're actually in.
Most cover-letter advice assumes a tidy work history. These collections don't — each carries a letter purpose-written for its moment.
First job
Cover Letters With No Experience
Argue from school, volunteering, and responsibility instead of job history — availability up front.
Students
Internship Cover Letters
Term, major, project evidence, and availability — the fields internship screeners actually sort on.
Pivoting
Career Change Cover Letters
Name the pivot once, translate your track record, show the gap-closing step you've taken.
Sending it
Email Cover Letters
What to write in the email when you send your resume — subject lines included, phone-screen short.
Applying broadly
General Purpose Cover Letters
One master letter with three marked swap spots — retarget every application in ten minutes.
Moving up inside
Internal Promotion Cover Letters
Applying at your own company — inside evidence, manager etiquette, and the handoff answered.
Coming back
Returning to Work Cover Letters
After a career break — the gap owned in one line, skills current, availability stated.
Someone vouched
Referral Cover Letters
Referred by an employee — their name in the first sentence, matched to what they'd say about you.
Keeping it tight
Short Cover Letters
Complete at 100-150 words — for quick-apply portals and readers with sixty seconds.
Fresh diploma
Recent Graduate Cover Letters
Degree-led letters that convert internships, capstones, and campus jobs into evidence.
Working remote
Remote Position Cover Letters
Async habits, self-managed results, and the time-zone answer — before they ask.
Matched pairs
Resume and letter, one design language.
For these fields the library carries both documents, written in the field's own hiring language. Pick which one you need — each button goes straight to that collection.
Education
Teacher
License-forward resumes and committee-ready letters — elementary through department lead.
Healthcare
Nursing
RN resumes and unit-fit letters — certifications first, ratios and availability plain.
Service
Customer Service
Metrics-led pairs — CSAT, resolution rates, and tools, in both documents.
Office
Administrative Assistant
Scope-and-systems pairs, polished enough to pass the work-sample reading.
Tech
IT Support & Help Desk
Certification-forward pairs — A+, ticket metrics, and the exact stack, matched across both.
Learn the craft
The two guides.
The packet
Putting an application together, in order.
An application is three decisions made in the right order:
- 1. Resume first, from your field’s category. A role-specific layoutalready leads with what your field’s managers screen for — license, certifications, metrics, or portfolio. Fill it in, keep it to one page, export a PDF.
- 2. Letter second, matched to the resume. Same design family, same accent color — the packet should read as one authored application. Pick by style, situation, or role, and swap the company-specific line for every single application.
- 3. The send, done cleanly. Portal uploads take both PDFs. Direct email takes a short email version in the body with the resume attached — write the body first, attach second, address last, so a premature send is impossible.
Everything here is genuinely free — no account, no paywall, no watermark — and editable in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
