CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME The chronological resume is probably the most familiar resume format to everyone.

As it is chronological, whatever work experience you may have is listed from the most recent to the oldest. Included in this portion is the period of time you were employed, the name of the employer (i.e. company name), the employer s location, as well as the description of each !ob. At the end of your work experience, if any, is a section on education. This kind of resume is ideal for showing progression in your career, through a steady progress in employment and !ob positions. "owever, those of us with gaps in work experience or # as with most of us # have not been employed yet, this type of resume format may not be ideal yet. $xample% Store Manager &''( # present )angga *outi+ue, ,ovaliches, -. .oordinate store inventory with central processing factory. /rgani0e clerk and salesperson movement within the retail outlet. .ommunicate with customers and answer to any re+uests or complaints.

FUNCTIONAL RESUME Instead of arranging !ob experience and education in reverse chronological order, the functional resume highlights particular skills you have. This is achieved through identifying a functional !ob ob!ective, followed by a series of !ob functions and concomitant descriptions. This format allows you to highlight particular skills in order to target a particular !ob you desire. This is also ideal for those who do not have a lot of work experience or those who have gaps in work experience.
