About the Dove template
Dove is a quiet serif resume in two columns. The narrow left column sits on a pale wash of the accent and opens on a square photograph, then the contact details as plain lines under a spaced small-caps heading, then the sections the writer adds, each a paragraph under its own heading. The wide white column opens on the name in large spaced capitals with the first name and the surname each on a line of their own, a thin rule, and the job title in spaced capitals beneath it. Every heading in both columns is spaced small capitals in the page’s own dark, and every section but the first in its column opens with a thin rule across the column. A role reads as its dates in a small light line over the title, employer and city divided by bars in one weight, then its description as prose, and a degree reads as the school, city and years in the same light line over the award in bold. It suits a nurse, a teacher or an administrator who wants a page that reads as composed rather than designed.
