Modern Resume Template
Modern splits the page in two: a filled colour band down the left holds your contact details, skills and languages, and the wider right column carries your profile, experience, education and projects. Because the sidebar is a solid block of colour, the accent you choose becomes the first thing a recruiter registers.

How the Modern layout works
The two-column split is doing real work here, not just decoration. Skills and contact details are short, repetitive lines that waste a full page width; moving them into a narrow rail buys three or four extra lines of experience on the same sheet — usually the difference between a resume that fits on one page and one that spills onto a second.
- Columns
- Two — coloured sidebar plus main content
- Photo
- Optional, top of the sidebar
- Accent
- Fills the entire sidebar
- Best length
- One page
Who Modern suits
- Software, product and design roles where a little visual confidence reads as current rather than risky
- Anyone with a long skills list that would otherwise eat half the page
- Career changers who want the profile paragraph to sit high and be read first
When to pick something else: Very traditional fields — law, academia, government, most finance — still expect a single column. Classic or Executive land better there.
