How to Make Great Resume Presentations Quickly With Templates

Now that you’ve seen all the great-looking resume templates you can buy on Envato Elements and GraphicRiver, it’s time to find a resume PowerPoint template and make it your own. Simply follow the steps below to make a great resume presentation quickly with a PowerPoint template.

For the purposes of this tutorial, I'm using the Resume CV PowerPoint Template. It’s a clean and professional resume template with 30 unique slides, image placeholders, and the ability to showcase your portfolio. 

1. Choose Which Slides You Want to Use

The first step is to choose which slides you want to use. Keep in mind that your resume should be succinct and to the point. So, you’ll want to limit the total number of slides. This means you don’t have to use all of the slides your template comes with. 

Simply open your template in PowerPoint, switch to the View tab and select Slide Sorter. Then, right-click all the slides you don’t want to use and delete them. 

2. Add Your Information

Once you’ve deleted all the extra slides, switch back to Outline view and then click the Home tab. Now it’s time to add your own information. All you've got to do is click on the text you want to edit and highlight it by pressing CTRL+A. Then entering your own information. 

3. Customize Text

When you've entered all your information, change the fonts to your liking. The easiest way to do this is to select all of the text you want to edit and then choose a font you like from the drop-down. In the example below, I’ve changed the body font on Slide #4 to Lato. 

4. Customize Colors

You should also customize colors used in the PowerPoint template to make sure they match your brand as well as the position you’re applying for. For example, if you’re applying for a corporate position, sending a resume in flashy colors is more likely to send the wrong message than to get you an interview. 

To customize the colors, click on a colored section. Then choose a different fill color using the Format Shape tools in the right sidebar. You can see how I’ve changed the color on slide #7 in the screenshot below.

5. Add Your Images

The last step is to add your images. To add your own images, simply click the image icon on the slide you want to edit. Then choose a photo from your computer. In this example, I’ve replaced an image on slide #7 by clicking the image and then using the Change Picture tool on the Picture Format tab.
