Are you in the process of looking for a job in the IT or cybersecurity industry? Whether you’re just starting, looking to transition to a new role, or recently faced a layoff, I have a template for your resume that I’ve used for several years with great success.

My resume template is designed to be ATS-friendly, meaning that it will pass through automated applicant tracking systems without being rejected. It’s also visually appealing and catches the attention of those reviewing resumes that have made it through the ATS.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a degree, many job experiences, or certifications to list. The “Side Projects” header in the template is a great way to showcase your skills and knowledge gained from home training, such as home labs or online courses. I’ve included examples of my projects in this section to give you an idea of what to include. Remember, even if you lack experience in some areas, highlighting your Side Projects can help you stand out from other candidates.
