About the Pip template
Pip is a two-column resume on a white page in one dark ink, with a single red dot at the head of every section. The left column opens on a round photo centred over the name in grey capitals and the job title in smaller capitals beneath it, then runs the profile, the skills as a name with a row of five dark dots filled to its level, and the languages as a name with a dark bar. A thin grey line runs the full height of the page between the columns. The right column opens on the contact details behind small dark icons and then the appointments: each one reads its dates and its city down a narrow margin with `Employer | Role` in the wide column beside them, the employer in bold and the role in grey, and the story indented under it. A degree reads the same way, the year and the city in the margin and the award in bold over the school. The interests close the page as a plain bulleted list. Every heading, a section the writer adds included, is the same bold capital label after the dot with a grey rule running the width of its column beneath. It suits a lecturer, a researcher or anyone whose page should read as a quiet, ordered record.
