Subject: Microsoft Word Templates

The purpose of this memo is to evaluate a resume template that Microsoft Word comes with. 

Summary

This Microsoft Word template is useful for a job fair, however it is not thorough enough to be useful in a demanding job interview.
This resume template falls short due to its brevity. A proper resume should be lengthy and should have a long list of skills and accomplishments that an employee can show a prospective employer. This template falls short as it simply has a couple of subheadings that an employee can briefly look at. If an individual were to apply to an important position in a company, this resume would not suffice as it simply does not have the necessary elements for a resume.

This Resume Template Can Be Very Useful

I chose to evaluate the basic resume template for Microsoft Word. This template seems very professional as it has a great outline that employers would love. It is very brief and professional looking, it looks excellent for some sort of job fair where the employers only have a couple of minutes to look at each resume. This is a great way to get your foot in the door at a job interview and present yourself briefly, if you are able to contact the employer following the interview you could plug yourself even more.
