Modern Two-Column CV Template
A two-column CV with a dark sidebar for contacts, languages and skill ratings.
About the Modern template
The Modern template splits the page in two. A dark sidebar holds your contact details, languages and featured skills with rating bars, while the main column numbers each section: profile, experience, education and licences.
It fits a lot onto one page and looks polished when printed or opened on a phone, which suits candidates with a few years of experience who want their skills to stand out at a glance.
Best for
- Candidates with two or more jobs to show
- Sales, hospitality and office roles
- CVs you will email or hand in printed
- Showing skill levels at a glance

Questions
Is a two-column CV ATS friendly?
Most modern applicant tracking systems read two-column PDFs, but some older ones read the columns out of order. If you are applying through a large online portal, the Classic or Minimal template is the safer choice.
Can I add a photo?
Yes. Your profile photo appears at the top of the sidebar. Without one, your initials are shown instead.
