Branded Career Templates to Complement Your Resume
Enhance your federal to private sector transition with our coordinating template bundle for MS Word: resume addendum, professional biography, references, and cover letter. Each document maintains consistent branding while highlighting transferable government experience.
CUSTOM-DESIGNED...EASY TO USE & CUSTOMIZE...EYE-CATCHING, MODERN FORMATS
STAND OUT, DIFFERENTIATE YOURSELF & WIN THE MOST DESIRABLE JOBS!
The journey from federal service to private industry requires more than just an exceptional resume. Our Fed2Private coordinating templates provide the comprehensive document suite needed to present a complete, professional image to potential employers in the corporate world.
This carefully designed bundle includes four essential career documents that complement your Fed2Private resume (available as a separate purchase). Each template maintains the same sophisticated, conservative-yet-modern aesthetic, ensuring consistent branding across all your application materials – a detail that speaks volumes about your professionalism and attention to quality.
The Resume Addendum template offers additional space to elaborate on specialized federal projects, security clearances, or technical qualifications that deserve mention but would overcrowd your primary resume. This supplemental document allows you to provide context for your government experience without compromising the concise format private sector employers expect.
The Professional Biography template helps you craft a compelling narrative of your career journey, highlighting the through-line that connects your public service to your private sector ambitions. This document serves as an excellent networking tool and provides a more personalized introduction than a traditional resume.
The Professional References template presents your endorsements in a polished, organized format that matches your other application materials. This consistency demonstrates attention to detail – a quality highly valued in both government and corporate environments.
The Cover Letter template completes the package, providing a framework to introduce yourself to private employers while explaining how your federal experience translates to valuable skills in their environment. The template includes strategic prompts to help you articulate this connection effectively.
Each document in the Fed2Private suite is fully customizable in Microsoft Word, allowing you to adjust colors, rearrange sections, and tailor content to your specific transition story. The entire collection works in harmony to present a cohesive professional image that bridges the gap between government service and corporate opportunity.
Our templates are designed exclusively for Microsoft Word, the industry standard for professional document creation. This file format ensures maximum compatibility with business environments while allowing easy export to PDF when needed.
The coordinating Fed2Private resume template is available to purchase separately. See the full collection:
Microsoft Word access is required to use these templates effectively.

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!
