About the Anchor template
Anchor runs a band of the accent across the top of the page, with a round photo and the name in white on the left and the contact details stacked and right-aligned on the right. The summary opens the main column with no heading of its own, followed by experience, education and any extra section under bold accent headings, while a grey sidebar on the right lists the skills and draws a proficiency bar under each language.
