There are a million resume templates out there and lots of companies that will help you. However, you really want to find out what resumes look like for your field. If you are in a creative field, your resume should be colorful with graphics. If you are in a more formal profession, then a clean, simple, well-formatted resume without the bells and whistles is the way to go. If you are going for big companies with lots of candidates, you only get a page or maybe two to tell your story. If you are in academia or many government positions, they are looking for depth. The most, most important thing, no matter your format, is that you update the resume to match each position you are applying for. Key words on the job description need to appear in your resume. It’s crazy - but many large organizations have a program that will screen out resumes that don’t have the right key words before a human even looks at it. Being able to get to the interview table has become an art, but thankfully there are many resources to help.

I like Resume Worded - it is a great tool to check your CV for key words, make it stronger, and it is free.

I would recommend doing a little research on the templates that are most relevant to your industry.

You also mentioned being in a role for about 10 years (that is terrific!). Spend some pre-work to your resume writing in getting very clear in the skills and experience you have and how that builds into your brand story that will add value to the positions you are applying to.

Good luck!

If you're looking for free templates I highly recommend some of the templates provided on Microsoft Word!
