About the Tally template
Tally is the one-column resume that reads the way a ledger does, set on a white page with no photo: the name centred in bold capitals in the accent with the title in normal weight beneath it, then one centred line of contact details, each behind a small accent icon, and nothing closing the head. Every section, one the writer adds included, opens under the same bold spaced uppercase heading, and a thin grey rule runs the full width between one section and the next, so the page is divided by lines rather than by colour. Each entry opens on a small grey line reading the employer or school, the city and the dates divided by a bar, then the role or degree in bold, then its bullets, and the skills run three to a row as a bulleted grid. It suits an accountant, an administrator or anyone in a role where the reader wants the facts ruled off and nothing decorative in the way.
