Product Overview
Technical roles are usually screened by both an applicant tracking system and a technical recruiter scanning for specific stack keywords, and a generic resume format often fails both. The Tech Resume template is structured to surface skills, tools and project impact clearly for each audience.
It keeps a clean, single-column structure so keywords and technical skill sections parse correctly, while leaving room to describe project scope and measurable outcomes. A matching cover letter completes the application.

Frequently Asked Questions
What format are the files? One ZIP containing 9 files: two editable DOCX files (resume and cover letter templates, plus their filled examples), two bonus PDF guides, a Quick Start PDF, a README and a licence file.
Can I edit the files? Yes. The resume and cover letter templates are fully editable DOCX files in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice Writer. The bonus guides are PDF reference material and are not intended for editing.
What software do I need? A word processor such as Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice Writer to edit the DOCX files, and a PDF reader for the guides. No paid software or plugin is required.
Is this for personal or commercial use? Both. The licence permits personal, professional and commercial use, including career-coaching or client work. Reselling, redistributing or sharing the original template files is not permitted.
What is the refund policy? As a digital download this product is non-refundable once downloaded. If a file is missing or will not open, contact us and we will send a replacement.
Does the template have a dedicated section for technical skills and tools? Yes. The layout includes a clearly labeled skills section built for listing languages, frameworks and tools so both recruiters and keyword scans can find them fast.
Is this suitable for non-coding IT roles like sysadmin or DevOps? Yes. The structure works for any technical role where you need to list specific tools, certifications and project outcomes, not only software development.
Does this include a PDF preview of the design? No. The resume and cover letter are delivered as editable DOCX files only, so you can start editing immediately instead of converting a static preview into a working document.
