Resume Format

There are three main styles:

  1. Chronological – Lists your jobs and dates from newest to oldest.
    • Best if you’ve worked steady or have clear work history.
  2. Functional – Focuses on skills, not job titles or dates.
    • Best if you’ve had gaps in work or many short jobs.
  3. Mixed (Combination) – Shows both skills and experience.
    • Best for re-entry job seekers — highlights ability and effort.

Keep your resume one to two pages maximum.
