Hi, I'm Rahul Agarwal. I'm a software engineer with a passion for automating everything. For the past days, I have been trying to craft the perfect resume template that is both visually appealing and easy to maintain.
Well, I have not succeeded yet. There is a debate between using a two-column resume and a one-column resume. I like both formats, but I am not sure which would stand out in the 7.5s that a recruiter typically spends on a resume.
When I search for resume examples, I often come across the impressive resume of a guy named Deedy.
His resume template is used by many people I see across videos and blogs. I love his design, but then I question whether a two-column layout is the right choice.
Oh, God, help me!
So here’s what I plan to do:
- I will create a modified version of Deedy's resume. However, his resume has been tested and accepted by many, so I am unsure if I am making the right decision. Nevertheless, I will give it a try.
- I will also try to create a one-column resume template inspired by Deedy's design.
Since, I am a more of an R&D guy, I will also try to list my reaseach & thank the people across the www who has really helped me with their blogs, videos, and templates.
So, thank you everyone for your help.
