Steal From These 50 Free Resume Templates Like a Copywriter

“Good Artists copy; Great Artists steal”- Pablo Picasso

This covers all aspects of art, whether it be painting, music, or writing. But what does Picasso really mean here? Let me give you a more concrete example of copying versus stealing.

In the world of digital marketing, one of the first things you learn is the value of the swipe file. A swipe file is simply a database of articles which achieve what you’re looking to achieve with your own writing. You can take this strategy and apply it to resume writing, because after all, isn’t a resume just a form of article which has the objective of selling your skill-set to the reader?

Check out these 50 free resume templates and swipe whatever works best for your particular situation.
