About the Ochre template
Ochre leads with the initials rather than a photograph: a large white circle carrying them in heavy black type, set over the join where a band of the accent and a thin cream strip meet the brown of the left column. Beneath it, in white, the contact details sit beside white discs carrying the accent’s icon, and the key skills and education follow as bulleted lists under wide-spaced white capitals. The wide column opens with the name centred in large type, the first name bold and the surname light, the job title in bold beneath and a rule of the accent drawn across the column under both. Every section after it, one the writer adds included, is headed in the same wide-spaced capitals with no rule, a role reads as the title, employer and city in bold capitals divided by a bar over the dates in lighter capitals, then bullets, and each certification is one bold capitalised line with its date. It suits an operations, plant or programme manager who wants a page that reads as established without a photograph.
