Resume template with leading line to start section

Question

I came across a resume here and like its format, in particular the red lines that begin each section. How can I create those lines in LaTeX, and then have the years on the left column and everything else on the right column?

Also, it would be great if someone could point out a similar resume template online. I tried searching, but didn't find one quite like this.

Use the moderncv class with \moderncvcolor{red}; here's a template to get you started. — Gonzalo Medina, Mar 25 '13 at 00:35
Thanks for the template! When I tried to compile it, though, it gives error ! Undefined control sequence. l.13 \moderncvcolor{blue} % color options 'blu.... Why is it so? — Mika H., Mar 25 '13 at 03:27
Sounds like you are using an outdated version of the package. Which version do you use? — Gonzalo Medina, Mar 25 '13 at 14:47
@GonzaloMedina - How can you check this and what should you do to update your version? — Karlo, Feb 21 '16 at 22:58

This is definitely the moderncv package. Here's an MWE, slightly fleshed out:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}  
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[scale=0.80]{geometry}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\moderncvstyle{classic}     % style options are 'casual' (default) and 'classic' 
\moderncvcolor{grey}        % color options 'blue' (default), 'grey' and 'black'

% 'grey' makes the divider bars too dark in relation to the headings,
% so we'll override:
\definecolor{color0}{RGB}{0,0,0}                % regular fonts
\definecolor{color1}{RGB}{192,192,192}          % headings and divider bars
\definecolor{color2}{RGB}{128,128,128}          % address, phone etc.

% New color for headings:
\definecolor{mediumgrey}{RGB}{128,128,128}
% Change the width of the first column
\setlength{\hintscolumnwidth}{5cm} 

\firstname{Nomen\vspace{0.25em}\\}          
\familyname{Nescio}

% All lines are optional:
\address{1024 Nonesuch Street}{San Francisco, CA 94105, USA}
\phone{123-456-78902}
\email{nomen.nescio@example.com}
\homepage{www.example.com}
%\photo[2.7cm][0.4pt]{photo.jpg}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}

\section{\textcolor{mediumgrey}{Personal Data}}
        \cvitem{Born}{1 January, 1900}

\section{\textcolor{mediumgrey}{Education}}
        \cventry{October 2001 – June 2002}{NTNU (Trondheim, Norway)}
{Faculty of Petroleum Engineering and Geopyhsics}{}{}{}
\end{document}
