Careers & Life

The paperwork of working life — and of life itself. Four libraries live here, all free and editable in Word and Google Docs: 50+ resume categories organized by role, 34 cover letter designs across 21 collections, resignation letters for every kind of exit, and reference letters for every situation where someone vouches for someone — jobs, courts, leases, adoptions, and more.

“Everything in this section comes with the hard part already written: layouts built around what each reader actually screens for, letters with the words already in place and brackets for what only you know. If something you need is missing, tell me and I’ll build it.”— David, Apollo’s Templates

Where you are

Letters for the moment you’re actually in.

Most template advice assumes a tidy situation. These collections don’t — each carries a letter purpose-written for its moment, from the first application to the graceful exit to the favor a friend just asked of you.

First job
Cover Letters With No Experience
Argue from school, volunteering, and responsibility instead of job history — availability up front.

Coming back
Returning to Work Cover Letters
After a career break — the gap owned in one line, skills current, availability stated.

What to write in the email when you send your resume — subject lines included, phone-screen short.

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.

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.

And when the job is won: leave the old one well with a resignation letter that keeps the bridge standing — that bridge is where your next reference letter comes from. Everything here is genuinely free — no account, no paywall, no watermark — and editable in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
