Sidebar résumé template
A two-column résumé template with a solid colour sidebar for contact and skills.
Sidebar moves contact details, skills and languages into a full-height coloured band on the left, leaving the main column for your history.
If the sidebar runs longer than the page, the overflow continues in the main column rather than being silently cut.

Questions about the Sidebar template
Is the Sidebar template ATS-friendly?
Yes. Text is drawn as real, selectable text rather than an image, so applicant tracking systems can parse it. Every template uses conventional section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) and exports to both PDF and DOCX, which are the two formats job applications normally accept. If you want the most conservative possible structure, the ATS-Max template is single column with no rules, tags or colour blocks at all.
Can I switch templates after I start writing?
Yes, at any time. The template is stored separately from your résumé content, so switching only changes the design — nothing is reordered, rewritten or lost. You can move between all templates from the builder toolbar and watch the page count update as you go.
Does it support non-English characters?
Yes. Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic and Chinese/Japanese/Korean text all render in both the on-screen preview and the exported PDF, with right-to-left scripts laid out in the correct direction.
