即使您决定自己处理它，许多推荐的简历编写资源和网站也不是免费提供的。然而，这并不意味着你不能不付钱就写一份高质量的简历。(quality resume)使用Google Docs 简历(Google Docs resume)模板是实现这一目标的最佳方法之一。
幸运的是，Google已经承认Docs作为简历构建工具的受欢迎程度，并提供了一个模板库来帮助您入门。
如何查找 Google Docs 简历模板(How To Find Google Docs Resume Templates)
导航到Google Docs后，您将在页面顶部看到一行，其中包含用于创建新文档的选项。您可能会在这一行中看到一两个简历模板，但如果您单击右上角的模板库(Template gallery)链接，还有其他模板可供查看。

Coral、Spearmint和Modern Writer。
单击一个将直接带您进入一个新文档，您可以在其中开始编辑模板。
如何编辑 Google Docs 简历模板(How To Edit a Google Docs Resume Template)
一旦您选择了您喜欢的简历模板，您就可以开始对其进行编辑。让我们以Serif 模板(Serif template)为例。
Serif是一个敏感的两列模板。尽管您可以根据页面内容的填写方式添加或删除部分，但重要的是不要将任何一列的文本比另一列长得多。
如果你这样做，最后会很碍眼。
因此(Therefore)，可能首选单列简历模板(resume template)（例如Coral 或 Modern Writer ）。(Coral or Modern Writer)
如果您发现您的第一个模板选择不能满足您的需求，您可以随时尝试其他模板。只需突出显示和更改文本的字体、颜色和其他属性，就可以轻松地对部分进行重命名和重新着色。不要(Don)害怕尝试，因为您可以轻松撤消任何更改或从头开始重新加载模板。
要记住的一个重要提示是，您应该遵守预设的格式样式(preset formatting style)，以便大纲正常工作。
如果您在简历模板(resume template)中突出显示一小部分文本，您会注意到几乎所有不是“ lorem ipsum ”文本的内容(’ text)都是标题。虽然您可以将普通文本格式化为与标题文本相同，但将它们设置为标题是告诉
Google Docs将它们放在大纲中的什么位置。

根据我的求职经验，大多数公司和雇主都会要求您提供PDF 文档格式(PDF Document format)的简历。但是，保留一份Microsoft Word、富文本格式(Rich Text Format)和纯文本的简历副本并没有什么坏处。(t hurt)现在下载这些可以节省您将来的时间。
您还应该使用支持的应用程序检查每个下载的文件，例如Foxit PDF Reader、Notepad++等。导出过程(process isn)并不总是完美的，您可能需要对这些文件进行边缘处理。

这就是使用其选择的简历模板通过Google Docs创建和保存简历所需的全部内容。(Google Docs)虽然有付费替代方案可以使流程更快、更容易，但 Google Docs 简历模板是最好和最灵活的免费选项之一。
How To Use Google Docs Resume Templates
When it comes to writing a resume, some people
will go as far аs to spend hundreds of dollars to get it out of their way. A
well-written resυme is a key ingredient to a successful job hunt, and learning
how to properly crеate one can often be intimidating.
Even if you do decide to handle it on your
own, many of the recommended resume-writing resources and websites aren’t
freely available. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t get away with
writing a quality resume without paying. Using a Google Docs resume template is
one of the best ways to achieve that.
Fortunately, Google has acknowledged the
popularity of Docs as a resume-building tool and provides a gallery of
templates to help you get started.
How To Find Google Docs Resume Templates
Upon navigating to Google Docs, you will see a row across the top of the page with options for creating a new document. You may see one or two resume templates in this row, but there are others to check out if you click on the Template gallery link in the top-right corner.
Clicking on this will expand the template
gallery and reveal a total of five different resume templates: Swiss, Serif,
Coral, Spearmint, and Modern Writer.
Clicking on one will take you directly into a
new document where you can begin editing the template.
How To Edit a Google Docs Resume Template
Once you’ve selected a resume template that
you like, you can start editing it. Let’s check out the Serif template as an
example.
Serif is a sensitive, two-column template.
Although you can add or remove sections based on how the content on the page is
filled out, it’s important not to stack either column with significantly longer
text than the other.
If you do, it’ll be an eyesore in the end.
Therefore, a single-column resume template (such as Coral or Modern Writer) may
be preferred.
If you see that your first template choice
doesn’t meet your needs, you can always try out the others. Sections can easily
be renamed and recolored by simply highlighting and changing the text’s font,
color, and other attributes. Don’t be afraid to experiment, because you can
easily undo any changes or reload your template from scratch.
One important tip to remember is that you
should adhere to the preset formatting style so that the outline functions
properly.
If you highlight a small section of text in
the resume template, you’ll notice that practically everything that is not
‘lorem ipsum’ text is a heading. While you can just format normal text to
appear identical to the heading text, setting them as a heading is what tells
Google Docs where to place them in the outline.
Although it’s not common for companies and
employers to ask for your resume as a Google Docs link, abiding by the
formatting rules can translate to the best possible export in all file formats.
Some text editors support outlines.
How To Save Google Docs Resume Templates
As mentioned, you won’t find many employers
who are going to ask you to turn in a resume in the form of a Google Docs link.
That’s why you’ll want to understand how to properly export your resume as one
of the common text-based file formats.
Luckily, Google makes this process extremely
simple and a matter of just a few clicks. All you have to do is click on the File menu, hover your cursor over Download to expand the options, and
click on any of the file formats that you’d like to download your resume as.
In my experiences with job searching, most
companies and employers will ask for your resume in PDF Document format.
However, it doesn’t hurt to keep a Microsoft Word, Rich Text Format, and Plain
Text copy of your resume. Downloading these now could save you time in the
future.
You should also check out each of the downloaded files using a supported application, such as Foxit PDF Reader, Notepad++, etc. The exporting process isn’t always perfect, and you may need to buff up these files around the edges.
If you often update your resume, you’ll need
to remember to re-download your resume in each of these formats. Don’t slip up
and send out an outdated resume copy just because someone is requesting it in a
format you don’t usually use.
That’s all it takes to create and save a
resume through Google Docs by using its selection of resume templates. While
there are paid alternatives that can make the process faster and easier, Google
Docs resume templates are one of the best and most flexible free options.
