About the Memo template
Memo is a one-column resume laid out the way a word processor sets a plain document: one serif face, no photo and no columns. The name opens the page in large italics on a grey-shaded band closed by a double rule, a thick line over a thin one, and every heading below it, a section the writer adds included, repeats that band and rule with its label in italics. The contact details are a short bulleted list in italics and the objective is one bulleted paragraph. A role hangs on a bullet with its title in bold over the employer and city and then the dates, each on a line of its own, with the duties as bullets beneath. A degree reads the school in bold over the award and the years. The skills are a bulleted list and the page closes on a references line. It suits an administrative assistant, a secretary or anyone who wants a resume that reads like a well-kept office document.

- The name set in large italics on a pale grey band, closed by a thick rule over a thin one
- Every heading the same shaded band and double rule with an italic serif label, a section the writer adds included
- The contact lines, the objective, each role and each degree hung on a round bullet, one fact a line
- The shading is a tint of the accent, so choosing a colour tints every band and its rules together
