Sidebar resume template
Sidebar is the two-column format people often ask for. Skills, certifications, languages and education sit in a narrow tinted rail on the left, and the summary and experience take the wider column on the right. Inter keeps both columns crisp at small sizes.

Is the Sidebar template ATS-friendly?
Two columns on screen, but your main content (summary and experience) comes first in the file and the side rail after it, so a parser reads it in a sensible order. If the content will not fit on one page, the layout falls back to a single column.
Accent colors
Starts in Evergreen. Pick any of these in the editor's Design panel, or enter your own color.

Sidebar template questions
Are two-column resumes bad for an ATS?
They can be when the columns are tables or text boxes. Sidebar uses neither: the main column is written first, then the side rail, so the reading order stays logical.
Why did my resume switch to one column?
When the main column would clearly run past one page, Sidebar renders as a single column so you do not get a half-empty rail on page two.
