What goes in each column
Sidebar: contact, skills grouped by type, languages, education, certifications. Main column: summary, experience with results, projects if relevant. Keep the sidebar shorter than the main column so the page doesn't look lopsided. The Two Column Resume is a sibling design; the Classic Two-Column Resume puts the sidebar on the right, and the Minimalist Two-Column Resume narrows it further. Job-specific two-column layouts include the Software Engineer Resume and Nurse Resume.
Parsing and overflow
Built to parse, but keep a single-column copy for strict portals; the ATS-friendly guide has the test. Two-column layouts spill most easily when you add content; the overflow fix guide covers it. Other versions are under two-column resume templates.
