How the Margin Notes template is laid out
Your name and the main content sit in the wide left column. A narrow right column, separated by a thin accent rule and left unfilled, carries contact details, links, skills and languages like notes in a margin. It is the lightest of the two-column designs.
Who should use Margin Notes?
Researchers, writers, analysts and teachers who want a two-column structure but prefer a quiet page, for direct applications and printed interview copies.
Is Margin Notes ATS-friendly?
Even without a coloured fill, the right column is a separate column and may be read out of order. Use a single-column template for portal uploads.
A writing tip for Margin Notes
