I have used minipage to make a two column CV. The left column appears in the center of the page rather than the left side, while the right column starts below the left one and continues onto the next page. The code and resulting document are given. Please help

Because I do not have your font Lato I simply deleted this font in the following MWE.



The error you made is to use command centering like this:



centering{ 
{fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Bol.ttf} Huge {color{headings} Sumanth } color{main}Umesh} \
color{gray}
Pre-Final Year B.Tech, Electrical Engineering\
Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur\
sumanth.2@iitj.ac.in|+91-9632878570
}


Command centering is not prepared to take an parameter. So you can choose to use



{centering ...}


to allow centering only in the part of text inside {...} or you can use environment center instead:



begin{center} % <======================================================
%{fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Bol.ttf} Huge {color{headings} Sumanth } color{main}Umesh} \
{Huge {color{headings} Sumanth } color{main}Umesh} \

    Because I do not have your font Lato I simply deleted this font in the following MWE.



    The error you made is to use command centering like this:



    centering{ 
    {fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Bol.ttf} Huge {color{headings} Sumanth } color{main}Umesh} \
    color{gray}
    Pre-Final Year B.Tech, Electrical Engineering\
    Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur\
    sumanth.2@iitj.ac.in|+91-9632878570
    }


    Command centering is not prepared to take an parameter. So you can choose to use



    {centering ...}


    to allow centering only in the part of text inside {...} or you can use environment center instead:



    begin{center} % <======================================================
    %{fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Bol.ttf} Huge {color{headings} Sumanth } color{main}Umesh} \
