About the Cobalt template
Cobalt splits the page into a blue-grey sidebar and a white main column. The sidebar opens in a deeper tint with the name in heavy two-line capitals and the contact details beside white discs, then lightens for education and skills, each skill drawn as a row of short filled segments. Across the top of the main column a pale band holds the objective, and beneath it the work history and any extra section run under small uppercase headings.
