Is the Bold template ATS-friendly?
Bold uses two columns: skills, languages, certifications, awards and interests sit in the side column, the rest in the main column. People read it easily, but some applicant tracking systems mix up two-column text. Use it when you email a recruiter or hand your resume over in person, and switch to a one-column design such as Classic or Modern for job portals. Your content carries over when you switch.
Tip: Experience and education run on a timeline, while skills, languages, certifications, awards and interests move to the tinted side panel.
