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.

How it is built

  • A sidebar in two tints of the accent, deeper behind the name and contact, lighter behind education and skills
  • Contact icons set in small white discs
  • Skills drawn as a row of short filled segments rather than a continuous bar
  • A pale band across the top of the main column holding the objective
  • Employer and role on one bold line with the city and dates in italics beneath
