Types of Resumes
Your resume can be presented in 1 of 3 main arrangements--chronological,
functional, or a combination of the two.
- Chronological: Education and experience are
listed in chronological order, usually from the most recent
to the earliest. This format is excellent for those with
a solid work history or who want to highlight their current
position. View
sample.
- Functional: Great for highlighting transferable
skills rather than work history, and particularly appropriate
when you have gaps in your work history. View
sample.
- Combination: Combining the best elements of
both the chronological and functional resume, this approach
groups qualifications in patterns of accomplishments or
skills. It's especially effective for career-changers.
