The files to fill in before you apply

Resume template, application and follow-up emails, interview prep and debrief sheets. Download, fill in, send.

Free, no email required. Every file is Markdown: it opens in any editor, pastes into Google Docs or Word, and exports to PDF when you're ready.

01 · The document

Resume

The template and the review pass. A resume read in 30 seconds beats an exhaustive one nobody finishes.

Angular front-end resume template

1 h

The skeleton of a front-end resume readable in 30 seconds, with writing guidance inline.

  • Every role as Context → action → measurable outcome
  • Examples of strong vs weak phrasing
  • Separate FR and EN versions

Resume review checklist

10 min

20 checks to run right before sending. Three failures or more: rework the resume.

  • Substance, form and links kept separate
  • The traps that sort against you (photo, skill bars, image-only PDF)
02 · First contact

Emails & messages

Apply, follow up once, say thank you even after a rejection. Short, specific, one ask per message.

Application messages

15 min

Answer to a job ad, cold application, 300-character LinkedIn message.

  • 120 words max, one single ask, zero flattery
  • The line that gets replies: "I won't follow up twice"

Follow-ups & thank-you notes

10 min

The day-after email (the only place to recover a botched question), the single follow-up, and the post-rejection note.

  • One follow-up, not two — and why
  • The post-rejection email that turns a no into a contact
03 · The interview

Prep & debrief

What you fill in beforehand so you don't improvise, and what you note afterwards so the fifth interview benefits from the first four.

Interview preparation sheet

30 min

Fill in before every interview: the company, the role, your three stories, and the questions to ask them.

  • 7 questions to ask that land at the end of an interview
  • Advertised stack vs real stack: where to check

Debrief & negotiation tracker

15 min

Fill in within the hour. After five sheets, the patterns jump out.

  • Green / amber / red signals observed, not hoped for
  • Your real floor and your negotiation variables
