The functional format for career changers and people returning to work: strengths lead the page in a panel of their own, with the dated history kept intact underneath.
This is a single-column design: every section runs the full width of the page, in the order a recruiter reads. That is the structure applicant tracking systems parse most reliably, because there are no side-by-side blocks for the parser to interleave.
It keeps standard section headings and selectable text, so it stays readable to parsers while giving you more visual character than the plain ATS layouts.
