Two-Column Resume Templates
Two-column resumes use a sidebar for contact details, skills and languages, leaving the main column for experience. They fit more on a single page and look modern, which makes them great for resumes you share directly.

Frequently asked questions
Are two-column resumes bad for ATS?
Modern applicant tracking systems usually handle them, but some older ones read columns out of order. For online applications, check yours with the built-in ATS check, or use a single-column template.
What goes in the sidebar?
Contact details, skills, languages, certifications and interests. Keep experience and education in the main column.
