Any good resume template that someone can share? So far the feedback I get is that my resume is too busy and crowded. I'm also not having much luck with my applications so I'm guessing the system is spitting it out as well. Please and thank you.

I'm going to let you in on a secret: take the same resume to 10 different people and you'll get 10 different answers. Don't be surprised if some people hate your resume while others love it. Your resume just needs to answer what you have done with what technologies where so that there's enough interest to get an interview where you are given the chance to sell yourself.

My friend in a high level ad agency role admitted to using a Canva template for hers. 🫢 Use whatever gets the main points across concisely and tells your story. Mess with the margins and font size if you need to.
Truth be told, I’ve hired people who have had unique (maybe even in a bad way) resumes because they were conversation starters at the decision-making table.

I used Resume.com because they have free templates that align with ATS systems. I have gotten a ton of interviews since updating my resume using this tool. You can also do a cover letter. You can create as many as you want for different roles and download PDF and txt (use to copy/paste in applications fast) files. It will prompt a free review and critique the info to make changes. Good Luck!

With all the ATS systems out there does resume formats really matter anymore I wonder. I think it would be better to have a method to pass the ATS system checks

A properly bookmarked PDF works.

It’s hard to pin down your ideal resume format, since that varies based on how long a career you’ve had till now, among other factors. There are plenty of good quality, free resume templates from online career coaching shops like milewalk academy. However, if you can afford it, I would definitely recommend hiring a professional resume writer. I’m speaking as someone who read hundreds of resumes, and was doing my own updates, with consistent success, until our incompetent fiscal policy-makers turned our hiring market into a disaster area.
