Modern Resume Template
Modern puts your skills and contact info in a bold colored sidebar while dedicating the wider main column to your experience and education. The teal accent creates instant visual identity — this is the resume that stands out in a stack of black-and-white documents. The sidebar design is one of the most popular formats on platforms like Resume.io and Novoresume because it efficiently uses every square inch of the page.
