About the Beacon template
Beacon opens with your name on a white strip and a square photo that overlaps the top-right corner, then drops the objective and an icon contact grid into a solid accent band beneath. The body splits into two columns of uppercase ruled headings, with a small triangle marking every employer and institution.
