Side column with contact, links and skills, then the letter
When to use it
Modern moves your contact details, links and a short skills list into a slim side column, so the letter starts higher on the page and reads faster.
Use it when
You have a portfolio, case study or public work worth linking.
The company’s own site feels modern and product-led.
You want skills visible without listing them inside the letter.
Keep in mind
Some applicant tracking systems read side columns out of order. When you upload to a form, export the plain text version and keep the PDF for email.
