How the Sidebar layout is built

What this skin actually changes, compared with the plain document every template starts from.

  • 1A two-column grid at 30/70, narrower on the rail than most of the two-column set.
  • 2The rail is a pale blue-grey rounded panel, tinted from neutral rather than from your accent colour.
  • 3It is nudged four pixels left of the text column so the panel edge sits proud of the main text.

Why it is built that wayA neutral rail rather than a coloured one is the restrained end of two-column design: you get the structural benefit of putting skills in the reader's first glance without the page committing to a colour.

Who the Sidebar template is for

Best for: Roles where skills should be visible in the first glance. It is one of the 32 design-led templates here, built for a human opening the file: portfolio submissions, direct email applications and networking introductions. Two-column and heavily styled layouts are harder for applicant tracking systems to parse, so switch to one of the 40 ATS-safe templates for portal applications — your content carries across untouched.

Sidebar at a glance

LayoutTwo columns, with a side rail — one of the 17 two-column templates here
ATS-safeNo — one of the 32 design-led layouts
Headshot slotNo
Default accent#065F46 — changeable to any of the 8 palette colours
Style tags Creative (29 templates), Modern (32 templates)
ExportsPDF, Word (.docx) and JPG — all free and unwatermarked

When to choose something else

Any two-column layout risks being read out of order by an applicant tracking system. Technical puts skills first in a single column if the application is going through a portal.

Once the wording is done, run the finished document through our free ATS resume checker to score it against the job description you are targeting, or read the resume writing guides for section-by-section help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Sidebar template different from the other 71?

A neutral rail rather than a coloured one is the restrained end of two-column design: you get the structural benefit of putting skills in the reader's first glance without the page committing to a colour.

Is the Sidebar template free?

Yes, entirely. Build your resume in it, preview it live and download the PDF without an account, a trial or a watermark. Nothing is held back behind a payment.

Is the Sidebar template ATS-friendly?

This is a creative layout, so it is best for portfolios, direct email applications and human-first review. If you are applying through a large employer's online portal, switch to one of the 40 ATS-safe single-column templates first.

Should I use Sidebar or Split?

Sidebar is the closest match in the library to Split. Sidebar: Two-column layout with a contact and skills rail down the side — best for roles where skills should be visible in the first glance. Split: Colour-blocked left rail with the main column kept clean and readable — best for media, events and communications roles. You can switch between the two at any point without retyping anything.

What file format do I get?

PDF, Word (.docx) or a JPG image — all three free, all downloaded instantly, none watermarked. PDF is the right default because it keeps your formatting identical on every device and parses reliably in applicant tracking systems; choose Word only when an employer specifically asks for it.
