These are the same templates we build with mentees — the résumé, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, outreach scripts, interview answers and tracker that move you from "applying" to "getting interviews." They're free, they're ATS-aware, and every one ships with a worked example so you're never staring at a blank page.

Six templates for the whole job hunt
Résumé template
An ATS-ready, two-page résumé built for Scrum Master and IT Project Manager roles — with a bullet-rewrite engine, a Technical Skills section, and a fully worked example.
Résumé template
- Start from the fill-in skeleton: replace every bracketed field, delete the grey hint lines.
- Write each bullet verb → number → scene, and mirror the posting's exact keywords.
- Keep Core Skills (methods) and Technical Skills (tools) in separate sections.
- Fill two genuine pages; compare against the worked example before you send.
Cover letter template
A four-paragraph letter that names the employer's problem and ties your delivery evidence straight to it — built around one argument, not a résumé rehash.
Cover letter template
- Research one real thing about the company before you write a word.
- Follow the structure: hook → fit (one number) → why them → close.
- Keep it to one page, roughly 250–350 words.
- Match the letterhead to your résumé so they read as one package.
LinkedIn profile template
Headline formulas and a five-part About section so recruiters surface you in search — and actually message you.
LinkedIn profile template
- Rewrite the headline first — lead with the role you want, not the one you have.
- Put your hook in the first two About lines; they show before "see more."
- Mirror the keywords recruiters search across headline, About and skills.
- Run the checklist: custom URL, photo, "Open to work," certifications.
Outreach script pack
Six fill-in messages — connection, follow-up, hiring-manager, referral, recruiter and the polite nudge — that get replies instead of silence.
Outreach script pack
- Find one specific detail about the person before every message.
- Lead with them, keep it short, and make a single small ask.
- Pick the script that fits the moment and fill the brackets.
- Follow up once after 5–7 days, then let it go.
Interview answer scaffolds
Beat-by-beat structures for the five questions these interviews are won on — each with a worked, senior-sounding answer.
Interview answer scaffolds
- Draft each answer once in writing, then say it out loud and time it.
- Lead with the verb, land one number, use "I" not "we."
- Keep each answer to 60–90 seconds, then offer to go deeper.
- Reuse four or five core stories across many questions.
Job-search tracker
A formula-driven workbook: an application pipeline, a live status breakdown that updates itself, and a weekly cadence sheet to keep momentum.
Job-search tracker
- Log every application on the Pipeline tab the day you send it.
- Update the Status dropdown — the dashboard breakdown updates itself.
- Run the weekly cadence: 5 applications, 5 outreach DMs, follow-ups.
- Work your real bottleneck — no screens means fix the résumé, not the volume.
Four workbooks to run delivery like a pro
Already in the role, or building proof you can do it? These are advanced, formula-driven Excel workbooks — each ships with realistic sample data and a live dashboard that charts itself as you type. They share one sample project, so they read as a matching set.
Product backlog
A Scrum backlog with a live dashboard — Epic → Feature → Story, points, sprints and status, with charts that update as you type.
Product backlog
- Type your items on the Backlog tab; use the drop-downs for type, priority, points, status and sprint.
- Leave the grey formula columns alone — Points Done, Age and flags calculate themselves.
- Open the Dashboard for totals, % complete, status mix and points per sprint and epic.
- The table runs to ~110 rows; press Tab on the last row to grow it.
RAID log
Risks, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies in one register, with severity scored automatically and a RAG dashboard.
RAID log
- Add each item and set its Type — Risk, Assumption, Issue or Dependency.
- For Risks and Issues, set Probability and Impact — Severity and RAG calculate themselves.
- Give each item an owner, a response and a review date; keep the Status current.
- The Dashboard shows type mix, the RAG picture, status and owner load.
Retrospective
A running retro log plus an action tracker — capture what the team raises, turn the best into owned actions, and watch them to done.
Retrospective
- Log what the team raises each sprint on Retro Items; use the Category and Theme drop-downs.
- Record votes so the dashboard can rank themes by what the team cares about.
- Turn the strongest items into owned, dated actions — overdue ones flag red automatically.
- The Dashboard shows category mix, votes by theme, action status and actions per sprint.
Project status report
A one-glance status report driven by a milestone tracker and weekly metrics — RAG, schedule variance and a trend line build themselves.
Project status report
- List milestones with a baseline date, forecast date, status and % complete.
- Schedule variance and the RAG rating calculate automatically from your dates and status.
- Add a row to the Metrics tab each period to feed the trend line.
- Share the Dashboard tab as your status report.
