About the Verdant template
Verdant sets a round photo at the top of a grey left column, with the contact details beside accent-coloured discs and the key skills under a solid accent band. The main column opens with the name in very large two-line capitals over a centred summary and a thin rule, then runs experience and education under solid accent bands with white lettering. Roles and employers are set in small capitals, with the employer, city and dates on one line.
