Why this shape

A hospitality page with your photo in the top-left corner, over a deep green side column. The photo runs to the paper’s top and left edges, and the side column below it holds contact details, languages, skills and certificates under small gold labels. Your name, in a large Playfair Display serif, sits beside the photo under your job title, and your experience runs down the wide column on warm paper. The design fixes the photo frame: you can add, replace or switch off the photo, and with it off the frame shows your initials.

How it reads

  1. 01
    A photo frame in the top-left corner, fixed by the design
  2. 02
    A deep green side column for contact details, languages and skills
  3. 03
    A Playfair Display name with gold section labels

Best for

  • Guest relations, front office and concierge roles
  • Hotel and travel applications where a photo is customary or requested

Fill the side column with facts a hotel checks

Put your phone, email and city in the side column, then each language with a plain level and the hotel systems you use by name. Keep the wide column for roles: the job title and dates, the hotel and city, then two to four lines on what you did. Use numbers you can confirm, such as the room count or the size of the team you trained.

What this layout asks of a machine

  • Sidebar layoutSome ATS, especially older ones, read the sidebar into the main column, so skills or contact details can end up out of order. Our ATS checker flags multi-column layouts for this reason.
  • PhotoMany US and UK employers’ ATS and recruiters ignore or discard photos. Our ATS checker flags images, and flags a photo where local hiring convention discourages one. The photo is optional, so leave it out for those applications.
  • Skill graphicsSkill bars, charts and icons are graphics. An ATS cannot read the level or meaning they show, only the text beside them. Our ATS checker flags graphics for this reason.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use Lumen instead of a plain resume?

Use Lumen when a hiring manager will read the PDF and a photo is normal or requested, as in much of Europe and in many Gulf and Asian hotels. Applying in the US, UK, Canada or Australia, or uploading to a careers portal? Download the plain ATS PDF from the same editor: one column, the same words, no photo.

Can I move or resize the photo in Lumen?

No. Lumen’s corner frame keeps the place, size and shape it was drawn with. Add a photo, swap it or turn it off; with no photo, your initials fill the corner.
