About the Terracotta template
Terracotta is a plain white one-column resume that puts everything it wants noticed in one warm colour and everything else in grey, with no photo and no rules under its headings. The head sets the name large in the accent in normal weight with the job title beneath it, and the contact details against the right edge in the same colour, the email and phone on one line divided by a dot and the address on the line below; the profile follows as plain copy with no heading. Every heading is the accent in title case, larger than the body, a section the writer adds included. A role reads the employer and its city on the left with the dates against the right, all in the accent, then the role beneath in the accent, then grey bullets, and a thin grey rule divides one role from the next. A degree is the award in the accent over the school, its city and years in grey. Skills are a list of rows each closed by a grey rule the width of the page, under a heading the template calls Technical Proficiencies. It suits a project manager, a coordinator or anyone in a delivery role who wants a quiet page with one colour doing the work.
