Why the Sidebar template works

The Sidebar template splits the page into a dark left column for contact details and skills and a clean right column for experience and education. The accent-colored initials circle and section labels create a professional but distinctive impression.

Every Applio template uses standard section headings, a clean reading flow, and real selectable text rather than images. Those choices help applicant tracking systems read the content of your resume accurately.
