Gauge resume template
A sidebar resume with visual skill proficiency bars.
Gauge pairs a theme-colored sidebar with a crisp white main column. Your contact details, skills — each with a horizontal proficiency bar — and extra sections live in the sidebar, while your summary, experience, and education get the full width they deserve on the right. It is the classic two-column resume done with discipline: dense where it should be, spacious where it counts.

Will Gauge pass applicant tracking systems?
Two-column layouts can challenge older parsers: keep your most critical keywords (job titles, employers) in the main column, and export a PDF to check the reading order. The text itself is fully selectable and real.
Every Cvyon template exports through your browser's print-to-PDF, so the text layer stays selectable and searchable — the thing parsers actually read. After downloading, run your resume through our free ATS grader to confirm it scores well before you apply.

Questions about the Gauge template
How are the skill bar levels determined?
The bars give each skill a visual weight so recruiters can scan your strengths at a glance. Order your skills with the strongest first for the best effect.
Will the sidebar confuse applicant tracking systems?
Modern parsers handle two-column resumes well, and all text is real and selectable. If a portal is very old, the single-column templates are the safest fallback.
Can I add more sections to the sidebar?
Yes — custom sections you add in the builder appear in the sidebar, keeping the main column focused on experience.
