About the Orchid template
Orchid paints a deep teal column down the left of a white page and washes its corners in colour: a lilac shape fills the top of the column behind a large round portrait, and three waves in yellow, lilac and pink rise over its foot. Under the portrait the contact details read one a line beside white line icons, then the objective under a white heading. The white page opens with the name in bold capitals and sets every heading in plum bold capitals with no rule, a section the writer adds included. A role reads as its dates in bold over the title and the employer divided by a dot, a degree as the college and city in bold over a bulleted award with its year, and the page closes on a references line. It suits an office manager, a receptionist, an assistant or anyone whose resume can afford a little colour.
