As always, thoughtful resources, especially provided gratis, are a wonderful contribution, and appreciated!
That said, I think there's a fundamental problem with what determines a 'good resumes'!
Resumes are generally assessed by a wide range of hirers and various layers or recruiters or hr in the middle - and the people who assess it they all have (very) different ideas of what is good!
I've seen this play out many times where person 1 says make it longer, person 2 says make it shorter, person 3 says not enough detail, person 4 says too much etc ..
So on balance I don't think it's possible to make an objectively perfect format of resume that will always be more successful than a different format for any given job application.
Other variables like number of applications, personal connection with the people you talk to etc are possibly going to be more valuable to focus efforts on in a job search, once your resume is 'good enough'. Then expect to modify it to suit various people's preference if you are really interested in a specific role.
