About the Olive template
Olive opens on a band of deep olive across the head of the page, the name centred in it in large bold white and the job title and profile ranged left beneath it. Under the band a column in a pale wash of the same olive runs down the left to the foot of the page, and over the white main column beside it the band hangs lower towards the right in one slow curve before lifting at the edge. Every heading, a section the writer adds included, is the label in dark bold small capitals with no rule. The column carries the contact details behind dark icons, the key skills as bullets and the education as plain lines; a role reads its title, employer and city in capitals over its dates, with its bullets indented beneath. It suits an engineer, an analyst or a specialist with a few years behind them.
