    Frequently asked questions
    How do I get access to the templates once I buy them?  
    Once you purchase, you'll immediately be taken to a page where you can access all resources, including the Google Docs links to the templates. You'll be able to directly edit the templates in Google Docs, or download the Word versions to edit offline. You'll also be sent an email with the access details so you can access them at any time (lifetime access).

    Why Google Docs and Word? Our bread-and-butter is ATS-compatibility and beating the resume screeners. We've tested literally hundreds of thousands of resumes and we've found that those created in Google Docs and Word are the most reliable when it comes to being read correctly by the screening systems employers use.

    We'd recommend avoiding websites that offer 'resume builders'. While the templates might look flashy, they're often not read correctly by hiring systems which could result in you getting rejected at the initial resume screening stage.
    Is this a subscription or one-time payment?  
    This is just a one-time payment. There are no renewals or subscriptions.
    What's an ATS or a resume screener?  
    ATS stands for Applicant Tracking Systems. They essentially refer to software employers use to pre-screen resumes.

    Many resumes get rejected at this pre-screening stage because they aren't able to be read correctly by this screening software. If you've ever received a seemingly auto-rejection email after you've applied online, it's safe to assume a computer rejected you (and a recruiter didn't even see it)!

    That's why you need to use a resume template that's been optimized for the ATS, like the ones we've put together. With these ATS-optimized templates, you'll never worry about being rejected by a computer again.
