  • Two-column designs can confuse strict ATS parsers — for ATS-heavy applications choose Modern ATS or Executive Elegant.
  • Built in the editor — there is no Google Doc to copy; you export a PDF when finished.

Modern Sidebar puts your contact details and skills in a colored left rail and gives your experience room to breathe on the right. It is a strong fit for engineers, product, and project managers presenting a PDF to a recruiter or hiring manager.

Build it in the editor, choose an accent color, and download a selectable-text PDF. If your application runs through strict automated screening first, switch to a single-column template — the builder keeps your content when you change templates.

Frequently asked questions

Is a two-column resume safe for ATS?

It is best for roles where a human reviews the PDF. For strictly automated screening, a single-column template like Modern ATS is safer.

Can I change the sidebar color?

Yes — pick any accent color in the builder and the sidebar, headings, and markers update live.
