THE AUP RESUME TEMPLATE 

We recommend that you use this template as your default version to ensure that your content is presented in a way that will be compatible with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) which are now widely used at hiring organizations.

• AUP Resume Template – Powerpoint Version (recommended version for ease of use)
• AUP Resume Template – Word Version (for those who prefer to use Word)

For additional versions of your resume in English or French beyond your default version, you can use websites such as:

• Canva
• NovoResume 
• Zety 
• MonCVParfait
• CVcrea
• or even the templates in Microsoft Word and Google Docs

TIP:  Be sure to always have a Word version of your resume or CV handy: you may need to copy-paste information directly into some electronic applications, and sometimes it is the only format accepted by a variety of platforms.
