About the Plum template

Plum is a two-column student resume on a white page. A band of plum runs across the head a little below the top edge, carrying the name in white capitals and the job title beneath; a grey-lavender column stands over the band’s left end, from the top of the page to its foot, and opens with a round portrait in a thin plum ring. The column carries the contact details as plum icons and bold labels over their values, the technical skills with their level in brackets, the languages and the certificates, each under a plum capital heading over a plum rule. Every section on the page, one the writer adds included, opens with its icon in white on a plum square, its label in plum capitals with a rule beneath, and a rail of plum running down from the square with a dot at every entry. A degree is its award in bold with the years against the right edge, then the school and its city, then the grade; a role reads the same way with the employer beneath. It suits a student, a graduate or anyone whose projects and results carry more weight than their employment.

How it is built

  • A plum band across the head of the page, set a little below the top edge, with the name in white capitals and the job title beneath
  • A grey-lavender column standing over the band’s left end from the top of the page to its foot, opening with a round portrait in a thin plum ring
  • The contact details in the column as a plum icon and a bold label over each value, and every column heading in plum capitals over a plum rule
  • Every page heading its icon in white on a plum square beside a plum capital label with a rule beneath, a section the writer adds included
  • A plum rail running down from each square through its section with a dot at every entry, a degree reading its award over the school and its grade with the years ranged right
  • The technical skills listed with their level in brackets and the languages the same way
