About the Laurel template
Laurel is a two-column resume on a white page with a band of sage green across the head. The name sits in bold spaced capitals inside a white box with a thin grey border that straddles the top edge of the band, and the job title reads in spaced capitals on the band beneath it. A thin rule in the same green runs down the page between a narrow side column and the wide one. The side column ranges everything right: the contact details each behind a small filled square icon on the column’s edge, the degrees one fact a line with the years in green, and every rated skill as its name over a row of five squares. Every heading is its label in spaced capitals with a short green dash on its outer side, a section the writer adds included; a role opens on its dates in green, then the title in bold and the employer and city in italics, then square bullets. It suits a teacher, a teaching assistant or anyone in education who wants a calm page with one soft colour.
