Free Notion Resume Template And How To Create Nested Columns

Table Of Contents

At the top of the resume template (available to duplicate below), is a table of contents block (trigger: /toc)

Resume Description

There is a section for an About me description. In this section, you can see an example of a nested column under Core Skills.

How To Make Nested Columns

A nested column is blocks in 2+ columns inside another column like below.

  • Locate the column you want to add the nested column to (above, the nested column is under the right column).

  • Create an empty block inside that column, then create a new page.

  • Inside the new page, create 2+ columns (drag and drop blocks next to each other to create a new column).

  • Return to the parent page and turn the page link into text via the block menu like described in the image above.

  • Delete the title of the block.

Duplicate Nested Columns

The resume template has options to duplicate columns and nested columns with the template button (trigger: /template).

You can also create a template button inside another template like in the example below for a new resume section.

Skill Progress Section

Below the About Me section in the resume template is a section for skills, and more specifically, language proficiency. I created progress bars in an adjacent column to indicate how proficient you are at each skill. (Symbols used: ■□)

Experience Section

This part of the resume template doesn’t use any design techniques aside from the column. I also use a different text color for time spent at each workplace. To change the color of all text in a block, type “/ color to change to” (/gray).

Education and Certifications

This is a place to add all relevant education and certifications, and these two sections also utilize the nested column which can be duplicated with a template.

You will notice that the years under the Certifications section are created with an inline equation. I use an equation, or KaTeX, to make a bolder text without changing the text type (the text remains in paragraph style).

To create a new inline equation, type /equation. Paste this inside:

\large\textsf{2017}
