ATS notes for the Name Band + 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 right. Contact details sit in the header row rather than the rail.
  • Because it is two columns, verify the reading order in the analyzer's ATS view.

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.
