About the Rook template

Rook is a one-column resume without a photo, drawn on a white page beside a near-black column that runs down the left edge of every page. At the head of that column the initials sit either side of a thin teal cross inside a white disc. Beside it the name opens the page in heavy black type over the contact details as bold labels with their values, such as Address and Phone number. Every heading, a section the writer adds included, sits in the dark column in bold teal capitals ranged right under a short grey rule, level with the section it names, and each section opens on a grey rule of its own across the white side. A role reads as its title in bold over the employer, with the dates behind a calendar and the city behind a pin in a narrow column at the right, and a degree reads the same way. Skills are set two to a row, each name beside five teal dots. A list the writer adds runs along one line between thin bars. It suits IT and office support staff who want a sober page with one strong mark.
