FAQ

Are these resume templates really free?

Yes — no sign-up, no email required, no watermark. Click download and the .docx file is yours; you can use it for any job application.

How do I put a Chinese degree or GPA on a US resume?

Write the degree in its US form (B.Eng., B.A., M.S.), convert your GPA to a 4.0 scale and show the scale explicitly (e.g. 3.6/4.0). The annotated template walks through each of these choices section by section, in Chinese.

Should an English resume include a photo, age, or marital status?

No. US resumes omit photos and personal details by default — including them reads as unfamiliar with local conventions. Keep it to contact info, experience, education and skills.

What if editing the Word file keeps breaking the layout?

Use the online editor instead: pick a template, fill in your content, and export a pixel-accurate PDF — or export Word (a clean, simplified layout that is easy to edit) when an application system asks for .docx. It also translates a Chinese resume into US-style English — try the free Chinese-to-English resume check, no sign-up needed.
