RESUMES

Types of Resumes

1. Reverse Chronological: This type of resume lists experiences in a strict time sequence with the most recent experience first.  This format works best for people who have had no gaps in employment.

2. Functional: This type of resume lists your experiences by skill areas. For example, your skill areas might include playwriting, set design, and acting. Then, under each of these categories, you can describe the skills you have gained from all your work and volunteer experiences. This format can be very effective for those who have held several of the same kinds of  positions, those who wish to focus on skills to change to another position, or for those who are returning to work after a prolonged absence. Dates of employment can be eliminated.  

3. Combination: This type of resume is a "combination" of the reverse chronological and the functional. It lists your experiences by skill areas and also includes employers and dates of employment.
