Two columns that still parse

The columns are built from text rather than tables so the reading order stays intact. Keep the sidebar short (skills, education, certifications) and let experience take the width. If you'd rather not risk a sidebar at all, the Clean ATS Resume is single-column; for two pages, the Minimalist ATS Resume. The Minimalist Two-Column Resume is the same idea without the ATS emphasis.

Checking it

Run the plain-text test in the ATS-friendly guide once before uploading. A job-specific example in this style is the Administrative Assistant Resume.
