Sidebar Resume Template
Two-Column Layout With a Coloured Sidebar for Skills and Contact Info
The Sidebar template splits your resume into two columns: a coloured sidebar for contact details, skills, and languages, and a main area for experience, education, and other sections. This layout is visually distinctive and makes efficient use of space.

ATS Compatibility
Medium ATS compatibility. Some older ATS systems struggle with two-column layouts and may misread the sidebar content. If you know the company uses an ATS, consider the Classic or Modern template instead. If you are emailing your resume directly or uploading to a portfolio, the Sidebar works beautifully.
Frequently asked questions
Some ATS systems handle two-column layouts well, but older ones may not. If the job application goes through an ATS, we recommend using the Classic or Modern template. For direct submissions, the Sidebar works perfectly.
The sidebar automatically includes contact details, skills, and languages. Experience, education, projects, and other sections appear in the main area. You can reorder sections in the Design panel.
