Question

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}

\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\section*{Section 01}
\begin{itemize}[noitemsep,nolistsep]
    \item item 1

You can use multicol package.

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}

\usepackage{enumitem,multicol}

\begin{document}

\section*{Section 01}
\begin{itemize}[noitemsep,nolistsep]
\begin{multicols}{2}
    \item item 1
    \item item 2
    \item item 3
    \item item 4
    \item item 5
\end{multicols}
\end{itemize}

\end{document}
