About the Noir template
Noir paints the whole page near-black and sets everything on it in white, with a strip of the accent running the full height of the right edge and a square portrait in the top right corner. The name opens the page in large bold white type with the job title in the accent beneath it, and the contact details wrap on one or two lines under both, each behind a small icon. Every heading is the accent in bold title case with no rule, a section the writer adds included. A role reads as the title in bold over the employer, then the dates behind a calendar icon and the city behind a pin on one small line, then bullets; a degree reads the same way with its GPA on a line under the meta. The narrow column sets each skill and each language over a bar in the accent filled to its level, a section the writer adds as white chips with dark text, and hobbies as an icon over a label three across. It suits a bookkeeper, a designer, a developer or anyone applying somewhere a dark page will be read as confidence rather than as a novelty.
