About the Stave template
Stave rules a plain white page like a musical stave. A margin a third of the page wide runs down the left, and every row, the header included, opens with a thick dark rule across the wide column only. The name stands in the margin in large bold with the surname a size smaller beneath it, and the address, then the phone and email, sit under the rule beside it. Every section, a section the writer adds included, is a bold label in the margin hung from a short dash. A role reads as employer and city in bold, a slash and the position, with the dates in small capitals beneath. It suits a tradesperson, an office worker or anyone who wants a resume that reads cleanly with nothing but ink.
