There are so many things you can do using Google Docs. Sure, the program can’t make you breakfast or walk your dog (yet). However, Docs offers users so many helpful services. One of the best tools is the variety of handy templates, all free to use. You can see all the templates here, but we’ll take a look at four of the most popular and useful templates.
4 super useful templates in Google Docs
1. Resume
The job market is competitive. For many people, just getting a foot in the door can be overwhelming, with so many candidates vying for positions. A solid resume is the first step toward landing the job you want.
Today, most companies use automated resume-sorting software. This means if your resume is strangely formatted, doesn’t have the right keywords, or contains any mistakes, it will probably get tossed aside before it ever gets on a hiring manager’s desk. Having an impeccable resume is an absolute must. Thankfully, Google Docs gives you an array of fresh, modern templates to help you build one that stands out in the right ways.
