Two-column resume template
Two columns put your experience on the left and skills, education and certifications in a 30% sidebar. It fits noticeably more onto one page and puts skills where a human skims. The trade-off is reading order: some older ATS parsers read straight across both columns and interleave them.
ATS compatibility: Use with care
What is in the layout
- Main column for summary and experience, sidebar for skills, education and extras
- Skills become a scannable list instead of a comma run
- Built with CSS grid, so the PDF has real text in two flows, not a table or text boxes
- Marked "use with care" for portals
Tips for this template
- Use this version for email, networking and career fairs; keep a Simple copy for portals.
- Put nothing essential only in the sidebar; mention key skills in bullets too.
- Check the reading order of your PDF by selecting all text and pasting it into a plain-text editor.
Best for: Emailing a PDF directly to a person, portfolios, networking.
