The Modern Two Column template places your contact details, skills and languages in a side column, leaving the main column for your experience. Recruiters can take in your profile at a glance, which makes it popular for CVs that are read by people rather than software.
Best for
- Walk-in interviews and job fairs
- Emailing your CV directly to a recruiter or hiring manager
- Roles where skills and languages matter, such as hospitality and sales

When to use the Modern Two Column template
Choose this template when a person will read your CV first. Two-column layouts are slightly less safe for applicant tracking systems, so for online portals pick the Professional ATS or Simple ATS template instead. You can switch at any time without retyping anything.
Tips for a strong CV with this template
- Keep the side column short: contact details, top skills and languages.
- If you add a photo, it sits neatly at the top of the side column.
- Bring a printed copy to walk-in interviews; this layout prints well on A4.
