One reason to set up (or not to set up) a special template is time economy.
It does make sense to invest in work preparation if you re-use and maintain
a document.
A single-use flyer, however, does not have to be very sophisticated in its
inner document structure to look nice and to bring forward the
message/content. It just depends on how often you use and change your
resume.
(I'm a big fan of structured work though, and my standard business letter
template makes use of FrameMaker's conditional text settings. Did I mention
that I also use para tags? ;-)
