Modern Sidebar resume template

modernTwo-column

Modern Sidebar puts contact details, skills, languages, and certifications in a colored side column, leaving the main area free for your experience story. It is one of our most visually distinctive templates.

Best for

  • Roles where a human reads your resume first
  • Networking events and direct outreach
  • Candidates with many skills and certifications
  • LinkedIn profile attachments and portfolio sites

Will it pass ATS screening?

This template exports as real, selectable text with standard headings, which is what parsers need. Because it uses a two-column layout, modern systems like Greenhouse and Lever read it correctly, but older portals can merge the columns out of order. For portal-heavy applications, keep a single-column version too; switching takes one click. We explain the details in our guide to two-column resumes and ATS.
