About the Zest template
Zest is a white two-column resume with no photo and one colour, used for nothing but its headings. The name opens the page in very large bold type at the top left with the job title in bold beneath it, and the contact details sit at the top of the narrow right column as plain lines. The profile follows under the name with no heading of its own; every heading after it, a section the writer adds included, is a short line of small orange capitals with no rule. A role opens on `Employer • City • Dates` with the employer a size above the rest, then the title in bold, then square bullets; a degree reads `School • City • Years` over the award. The right column runs the length of the history with the skills as one long bulleted list of plain names. It suits a marketing, sales or growth manager with a long skills vocabulary to show and results to list beside it.
