Resume Template 6 - The Admin / Clerk / Executive Resume
While there's no one-size-fits-all approach to selecting the perfect resume template for admin or office work, we've curated a slightly creative design with neutral colors to get you started.
We recommend customising your template to align with the personality of the employer you're targeting. If they're a corporate company, a straight-up professional template like the Newgate may be more appropriate.
