About the Prefect template
Prefect is a plain one-column CV in the shape a UK school leaver writes. The name opens the page large in a light grey, a navy rule runs under it, and the address, phone and email follow on one grey line divided by bars. Every heading, a section the writer adds included, is a grey label in title case over a navy rule the width of the page. Qualifications read as a table of three columns, the award with a colon at the left, the subjects and the school in the middle and the year against the right margin. A role reads the job title with the dates against the right margin, the employer beneath, then a short paragraph and bullets. A section the writer adds can be a table of labelled lines, such as IT skills and achievements. It suits a sixth form student or school leaver applying for a first part-time job or an apprenticeship.
