About the Lumen template
Lumen is a one-column resume with a centred head. A short slate navy bar sits at the top of the page over a round photo, with the name beneath it in bold navy capitals, the address in small grey capitals and the phone and email on one line split by a bar, the email in a link blue of its own. A short grey rule closes the head. Every section below opens on a bold italic capital heading in navy with nothing drawn around it, a section the writer adds included. A role reads the employer in bold navy capitals over one grey italic line of the title, the city and the dates split by bars, with the duties as bullets beneath, and a degree reads the same way with the school first. The skills sit three across, each name over a row of five navy dots. It suits a receptionist, an administrative assistant or anyone whose resume should look friendly and tidy on one page.
