About the Myrtle template
Myrtle is a two-column resume with a photo on a white page. A green block fills the top left corner of the paper and a round photo in a thin green ring sits across its lower right corner. Beside the photo the name is set large in bold green capitals, and the job title runs beneath it in spaced letters over a thin dark rule that ends in a solid green bar reaching the right margin. The narrow column opens on the contact details, each a green label over its value with a grey rule beneath, then the degrees, the skills and the languages. Every heading, a section the writer adds included, is a large bold green label: closed by a colon in the narrow column and plain in the wide one. The wide column holds the profile and the work history, a role reading its title in bold capitals, then the employer and the dates after a colon, then a short paragraph, with a grey rule under each role. Skills and languages each carry a short green bar ranged against the right edge, and a green strip runs along the foot of every page. It suits lawyers, consultants and other professionals who want a calm page with one clear colour.
