About the Two Column template
A two-column resume with a narrow left sidebar (~30% width) for contact info, skills, certifications, languages, and links, plus a wider right column for the timeline (Summary, Experience, Education, Projects). Balances information density with readability. Slightly riskier in older ATS parsers — recommend keeping the sidebar to truly atomic data (no long sentences in the sidebar).
