Banner + Sidebar resume template: banner spans, rail starts beneath
Banner + Sidebar spans the top of the page with a banner and starts a sidebar rail beneath it, so the header and the two columns read as one composition. Its flagship is a financial-analyst resume, and it fits quantitative roles that carry a long list of tools and credentials.

Who the Banner + Sidebar template is best for

- Candidates with credentials, tools and certifications to list alongside experience
- Mid-career roles where the page needs to look structured
Less ideal for: Early-career resumes with little to put in a rail.
ATS notes for the Banner + Sidebar layout
This is a two-column family, so reading order is the thing to verify.
- Two columns in every template of the family, with the rail on the left in some designs and on the right in others, and contact details in the sidebar.
- The banner and the rail are both places where parsers can lose text, so check the ATS view for name, contact details and skills.
The only way to know what a parser reads from your own file is to look: export it, then run it through the ATS resume checker.
