Three Types of Resume
Chronological Resume
The chronological resume lists your job titles starting with your
current or most recent employment and then goes back timewise. This
format is good for demonstrating growth in a single profession. It may
not be suitable for those just out of school or for those changing
careers. Template |
Example
Functional Resume
The functional resume focuses on professional skills developed during
your employment rather than on the when, where and what of each
position. It organizes your experience in terms of skills and
accomplishments. This resume format is good for career changers,
frequent job changers and those with limited experience. It is also good
for those who are returning to the workplace after a long absence.

Example
Combination Resume
The combination resume is a combination of both the chronological and
the functional format. It demonstrates your skills and experience as
themes and then your employment experience follows chronologically. It
is recommended for mid-career changers and recent graduates.
