Cobalt Sidebar resume template

Is the Cobalt Sidebar template ATS-friendly?
Not always. Some older applicant tracking systems read two columns out of order, so pick a single-column design for large company portals and use a two-column one when a person reads your resume first.
Word: The Word file is made for editing: two-column designs can shift slightly once you change text in Word, so send the PDF unless an employer asks for Word.
