Product Overview
The Creative Resume Pack gives you 5 distinct resume designs and their matching cover letters, purpose-built for design and creative fields. Every template has been checked against major Applicant Tracking Systems, so the design choices that make a resume look good never get in the way of it actually being read by a machine first.
Instead of one generic layout, you get 5 options (Fresh, Bold, Modern, Sleek, Contemporary) so you can match the tone of the employer, plus a guide that explains how to choose between them, a keyword library specific to creative roles, and a tracker to manage the applications you send.

Frequently Asked Questions
What format are the files? One ZIP with 27 files: 5 resume and 5 matching cover letter designs, each as a print-ready PDF and an editable DOCX, plus two bonus PDF guides, an XLSX tracker, a README and a licence file.
Can I edit the files? Yes. The DOCX resumes and cover letters are fully editable in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. The matching PDFs are for reference and printing, not direct editing.
What software do I need? Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice Writer to edit the DOCX files, a PDF reader for the guides, and a spreadsheet app for the tracker. No paid plugin is required.
Is this for personal or commercial use? Both. The licence covers personal use and commercial use, including using the templates for your own job search or for client resume-writing work. Resale, redistribution or repackaging of the files themselves is not permitted.
What is the refund policy? As a digital download the product is non-refundable once it has been downloaded. If a file is missing or corrupted, contact us and we will send a replacement.
Will these templates pass an ATS scan? Yes. All 5 designs use standard section headings and simple text columns so applicant tracking systems can parse your details correctly.
Do I need to use all 5 styles? No. Pick the one that fits the role, or use two or three across different applications to see what gets the best response.
Do I get updates if the templates change? Yes. If the pack is revised, the updated ZIP is available from your account download link at no extra cost.
