I'm just looking for templates where I can just fill in my information.
I bought a new computer but my free trials have ended so now I can't use their (Micro Word) templates. There must be a web site out there somewhere where I could just copy the resume and make it my own.

In Google search or other search engines, type (resume OR bio OR CV) AND (education OR summary OR history OR experience) will usually give you a list of others' online resume as examples.
You can also add a few keyword from your field of study that will help narrow down the list of choices and give you examples that are relevant to your expertise.
Good luck.

If you go to yahoo and type in resume templates in the search bar, you will find a number of places to go. However, most job boards offer solid resume templates and resume writing tips. Monster.com, Careerbuilder.com, Hotjobs.com. You may also want to try: www.resumetemplates.org. I hope this helps.

Chances are prospective employers all have their own form for you to fill in. He'll hand you a form--letting you know what HE wants to know. and he'll say `Fill that in". and you will.
Then he'll say (or his assistant, by that time will say) `Thanks! If you don't hear from us the vacancy is filled. We only contact the successful applicant".
So forget about the `template': a template says you just couldn't be bothered even trying.
A RESUME is your one and only chance to sell yourself.
Make it as short as possible. He's busy.
Make it have at least ONE REALLY GOOD point about you.
If they say `We'll call you'.ask if they'll mind if you call--say "I'm REALLY interested in knowing about THIS ONE as soon as possible--I'm VERY interested in THIS one. (As you quickly pick up a business card off the desk and thank them for it).
Don't hold your breath. Anyone who can't be bothered to write out their own resume doesn't have a snowball in hell's chance of `making it your own'.

Easy: Download Open Office, it is free, compatible with Word and comes with all sorts of handy templates.
And you are correct, Google is your friend. There are lots of resumes out there, you can copy one to use as the skeleton for yours.

If you have MS Word, you can still log into the MS website at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx. Under templates, there's various resumes and cover letters that you can download.
