About the Modern template
The Modern template pairs a clean main column for your experience with a navy sidebar that keeps contact details, skills, and languages scannable at a glance. It reads as current and intentional — the layout hiring managers picture when they say "send me something modern".
It suits corporate and business roles where you want more personality than a plain document but nothing that reads as "creative". The sidebar color adapts to the theme you pick in the builder.
Best for
Business, marketing, operations, and client-facing roles that reward a polished, contemporary look.
Frequently asked questions
Are two-column resume templates ATS-safe?
Modern ATS software handles two-column layouts far better than older systems, but if you are applying through strict corporate portals and want zero risk, pair this template with our ATS checker or switch to a single-column format like Harvard or Minimalist — your content transfers with one click.
Can I change the sidebar color?
Yes — the sidebar follows the color theme you pick in the builder, with several curated palettes to choose from.
