About the Parley template
Parley is a two-column resume with no photo on a white page, built on one idea: every heading is a speech bubble. The name opens the page in large bold black type with the phone and the email beneath it as bold labels beside their values, and a small empty bubble in the accent sits in the top right corner as the page mark. The two columns are the same width. In the left column each heading is a rounded blue band with a white icon and label and a tail hanging under its left end; in the right column the band is grey and the tail hangs under its right end, so the page reads like the two sides of a conversation. The profile, the degrees and the work history run down the left, and the awards, the strengths, the skills and the languages down the right. Each role and degree opens on a small line with the dates behind a calendar and the city in capitals behind a pin, then the title and the organisation in bold. A section the writer adds takes a bubble with a star and lists its items as hashtags, and each skill sits beside a thin blue bar ending in a dark dot. It suits accountants, analysts and other finance professionals who want a structured page with some personality.
