About the Bead template
Bead is a plain one-column resume on a white page with no photo. The head sets the initials inside a thin pale blue ring at the left, with the name beside it in large blue type and the phone, the email and the address in two short lines beneath. Below, one thin grey rail runs down the page. Every heading, a section the writer adds included, sits in a margin to the left of the rail in small bold blue capitals ranged right against it, and an open grey ring marks the rail level with each heading and with every role. A role reads its title in blue capitals with the dates in italics against the right margin, then the employer and the city in bold behind a bar, then its duties as bullets; the skills run in two columns of bullets and a degree reads the award and the field with its year at the right over the school. It suits a teacher, a nurse or anyone who wants an easy-to-scan page that stays tidy in applicant tracking systems.
