Sidebar Resume Template
Sidebar takes the same two-column structure as Modern and turns the volume down. The left rail is a soft grey rather than a saturated colour block, and the accent appears only in the section labels and small rules.

How the Sidebar layout works
That makes it the compromise template: you keep the space efficiency of two columns, but the page reads as restrained rather than designed. It is the layout to reach for when you want structure without the recruiter noticing the structure.
- Columns
- Two — light grey sidebar plus main content
- Photo
- Optional, top of the sidebar
- Accent
- Section labels and rules only
- Best length
- One page
Who Sidebar suits
- Roles where a fully coloured sidebar would feel like too much, but a plain single column feels dated
- Mid-career applicants balancing a real skills list against several roles
- Printing on a home or office printer, where large colour fills eat toner
When to pick something else: If you want the design itself to make an impression — a portfolio-adjacent role, say — Creative or Modern do more work.
