I am trying to add another column to the second page of my resume (area in light blue)

Your document is .docx,not .odt. Any advice based on LO technology won’t survive conversion to .docx. In addition, your document has been edited in heterogeneous environment (both with LO ? and Word) as can be seen by the numerous spurious styles in its dictionary.

It is not technically structured, i.e. it does not use styles, or rather does so to an extremely limited extent. Most of it is direct formatted.

Globally, it is a table with split cells to achieve some layout. Considering the “complexity” of this layout, a document processor (handling a text flow) is not the best tool. You should consider some desktop publishing application like Scribus (free).

Presently, given the structural mess, your best track is to play with table cell split/merge. And for stable formatting, use M$ Word if your ultimate document must be DOCX (you already edited with Word; I assume then you have access to it).

PS: when asking here, always mention OS name and LO version.

As it is a table, you could split the cell into two horizontally and then split the lower cell into two vertically.
It doesn’t explain why there are so many merged cell to begin with and the disjointed headings, etc.

Probably better to start with a simpler table structure to make additions in adjoining cells a bit easier.
