Tips for the Sidebar Profile layout

Use the sidebar for short items
Sidebar Profile has a side column: keep contact details, skills, languages and certificates there, and give your experience the main column.
Photo or initials
Add a headshot where photos are expected (much of Europe, the Gulf and Asia). Leave it off for the US, UK, Canada and Australia, and the design shows your initials instead.
Safe for application portals
A clean layout like this is read correctly by applicant tracking systems, so it's the right choice for big companies' careers sites.
Keep it to one page
Under ten years of experience, one page is plenty. Trim older roles to a line each before shrinking the font.
