About the Amethyst template
Amethyst is set entirely in a monospaced typewriter face, and opens on a hexagon of the accent carrying the initials in lowercase italics divided by a slash. The hexagon sits at the head of the left sidebar, on a deeper tint of the accent with the name in bold two-line capitals, a short rule and the contact details beside black discs, and the sidebar then lightens for education and the skills, each skill over its own row of dots. Across the top of the wide column a plain grey band holds the resume objective, and beneath it the work history and any section the writer adds run under bold spaced capitals, with the languages closing the column in two side-by-side cells, each language over a row of dots and its level written beneath. It suits a security, facilities or front-of-house applicant who wants a page that reads as orderly and a little unusual without a photograph.
