We’re so excited to introduce three new resume and cover letter templates to add a fresh twist to any application.

Cape Town features modern color blocking and a bold font, while Geneva stays classy with understated text on a vibrant background. Lisbon is the newest member of our creative family, with a playful color scheme and nautical feel.

When you need your summary to stand out, Cape Town is the way to go. The header and upper section are larger-than-life, helping draw in the eye to all you have to offer. Geneva relies on a more subdued approach, allowing your employment history to take center stage. Lisbon finds the perfect middle ground, with space for a professional headshot that can be easily added within our resume builder tool.

Check out these new templates and get one step closer to that can’t-miss resume and cover letter!
