It's user friendly
It's affordable, easy to use and it's not daunting when creating a resume, the grids are easy to fill up and you can see real time what you're resume looks like. You can also change the template without having to move the content around. That's the best part.

Made my life easier!
Love this resume-building platform; very user-friendly and tools are extremely easy to use. All I had to do was copy and paste the contents from the newly updated version of my resume from its original document format unto each section on the website, and voila! I had an instant, beautifully formatted resume with photo and all. Went with the 'very low-cost' monthly subscription, as needed and according to my current unemployed budget, and it was definitely worth it! Thank you, Resume.io developers for making my life just a bit easier during the very stressful and nerve-wrecking job search and application process. Will be sure to recommend to friends.

Resume.io is a game-changer for anyone…
Resume.io is a game-changer for anyone looking to create a polished, professional CV or resume with ease. The platform’s sleek and intuitive interface makes it incredibly user-friendly, even for those who aren’t tech-savvy. The variety of modern, customisable templates ensures that your resume stands out while remaining professional. What I particularly loved was the step-by-step guidance and tips for each section, which helped me tailor my resume to the role I was applying for. The ability to download in multiple formats (PDF, Word, etc.) is a bonus, and the real-time previews make editing a breeze. The additional features like cover letter builders and job-specific examples are invaluable for those unsure how to start. Resume.io takes the stress out of resume creation and makes the process efficient and even enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to craft a standout application and boost their career prospects!

Simple cover letter templates

Sometimes simple is the best choice. These cover letter templates return to the basics of what makes a great design with clean lines, classic fonts and monochromatic color schemes. These multipurpose layouts suit a variety of needs and can be customized to capture your own personal style.

Choose the simple cover letter template that has the right header and structure for you, then modify it inside our cover letter builder. Our spell check feature works while you type to make sure no errors will sneak into the perfect expression of your career journey.

When to pick a simple cover letter template

Simple cover letter templates are often the best choice for people who work in manual fields where the words on the page are most important. These stripped-down designs keep the focus on what you have to say, so they are best coupled with passionate and confident writing.

Those in the fields of construction, transportation, logistics, security and maintenance may find simple cover letters to be the right fit. However, these aren’t the only jobs where a classic approach is best. Students and career starters looking for work in retail, restaurants and hospitality and other entry-level positions may find that simple cover letter templates are the easiest choice.

Simple cover letter templates can sometimes be preferred by hiring managers since they allow a recruiter to quickly find the information they are looking for. You can create a consistent, polished look by aligning the simple templates across your application materials.
