Branded Career Templates to Complement Your Resume
Complement your contract worker resume with the GigWork coordinating bundle: professional biography, resume addendum, references sheet, and cover letter templates. Maintain consistent branding across all documents while highlighting your versatile gig experience. Created specifically for Microsoft Word.
CUSTOM-DESIGNED...EASY TO USE & CUSTOMIZE...EYE-CATCHING, MODERN FORMATS
STAND OUT, DIFFERENTIATE YOURSELF & WIN THE MOST DESIRABLE JOBS!
In the competitive gig economy, standing out requires more than just an exceptional resume. The GigWork Coordinating Templates bundle provides contract workers, freelancers, and consultants with a comprehensive suite of professional documents designed to create a unified, polished presentation that resonates with potential clients and employers.
This carefully crafted bundle complements the GigWork Resume Template for contract workers with four essential documents, each tailored to address the unique challenges faced by freelance and contract professionals:
The Professional Biography Template offers a narrative format to showcase your expertise, highlight significant projects, and demonstrate the consistent value you've delivered across various contract engagements. Unlike a traditional resume, this biography allows you to tell your professional story in a compelling way that connects with readers on a deeper level.
The Resume Addendum Template provides additional space to elaborate on complex contract projects, technical skills, or specialized experiences that deserve more attention than a standard resume allows. This is particularly valuable for contract workers who need to demonstrate depth of expertise across multiple short-term engagements.
The Professional References Template presents your professional advocates in a structured, professional format that matches your other career documents. This consistency reinforces your attention to detail and commitment to quality.
The Cover Letter Template is specifically designed to help contract workers articulate their value proposition, explain their contract work history positively, and connect their diverse experiences to the specific needs of each potential employer or client.
Each template in the GigWork Coordinating bundle maintains the same professional aesthetic as the resume template, ensuring a consistent brand identity across all your professional documents. This cohesive presentation demonstrates your professionalism and attention to detail—qualities highly valued in contract professionals.
Like all Distinctive Resume Templates, these templates are fully customizable in Microsoft Word. You can easily adjust sections, modify content areas, and personalize color schemes to create documents that truly reflect your professional identity.
The coordinating GigWork Resume Template is available to purchase separately. See the full collection:
Distinctive Resume Templates are developed exclusively for Microsoft Word, the preferred format in professional settings due to its widespread acceptance and compatibility.

WHAT OUR TEMPLATE USERS SAY
Appearances matter, even with the written word, and how a document looks can make an immediate impact on the decision to read it or toss it aside. I train and mentor many excellent resume writers who have mastered the art of crafting highly effective resume content, but who lack the basic MS Word skills to create eye-catching, ATS compatible and uniquely branded documents. Distinctive Templates are the perfect solution for easily transforming well-written content into works of art that capture attention, generate interest, and motivate the recipient to read every word.
When I was starting out with resume writing a little over a year ago, one of the most intimidating aspects was visual design of resumes. I didn’t want to have to learn graphic design to stand out—and with these templates, I didn’t need to! I was a little hesitant at first because I thought the templates might be too rigid or generic. In actuality, they are incredibly flexible and easy to play around with. I can customize any template with my client’s favorite colors in just two clicks—which means they never look exactly the same, even if I use them for multiple clients. Using the templates means I can just do what I do best—write—and then plug the text right into the appropriate section. It saves me literal HOURS of work and hassle. One of the best parts about purchasing from Michelle is that she is extremely responsive to questions. There’s a private Facebook group where she records screen share tutorials about how to switch up certain elements in the templates, and she’s always been responsive to my emailed questions. My clients are completely thrilled with the unique, modern design of their resume, and I’m thrilled that I’m saving time and don’t have to learn graphic design!
I love Michelle’s resume templates! The designs are eye-catching and easy to use. I highly recommend these templates for anyone who finds that designing a creative, contemporary formatted resume is a challenge. They’re a huge time-saver.
I used the “Pivot” template to create a combination functional/chronological resume for my first big client. Her words when she saw the finished product: “THIS IS AMAZING!” I’m a writer, not a designer. My resumes aren’t unprofessional, but they needed a “wow” factor – and now they have it. Thank you, Michelle, for offering such affordably priced tools!
While I primarily write resumes from scratch for each of my clients, I have also used Michelle’s templates and received great feedback. I find the templates are especially helpful to organize my thinking for those clients who have an overabundance of important information that still must fit in an ATS-friendly, 2-page format without looking cluttered or disorganized.
Michelle, your templates are wonderful! You are so creative, and I especially love the templates for specialized career industries! I just used Global Impact for an executive with extensive global work and living experience, Driving Growth for a successful sales director, and Agricultural Edge for a seasoned landscape professional — they all absolutely loved the unique, contemporary look of their new resumes. Thank you so much for providing this service within our industry. You are so talented, and I greatly appreciate our connection and the creativity your templates bring to my client engagements!
