Types Of Resumes
There are three main types of resumes you may consider
submitting during your job search. The three types of resumes
are called functional, chronological, or a combination of the
two.
The Functional Resume
This type of resume is usually submitted when you want to put
more emphasis on the qualifications and skills obtained during
your previous employment. It involves writing a detailed
explanation about the experiences you have had that are related
to the job you are applying for. Unlike the chronological
resume, the main importance of this resume is to outline how
well suited you are for the job based on your experience and
accomplishments.
The Chronological Resume
The chronological resume is the format that most employers are
familiar with. It involves listing in chronological order, the
previous jobs held. The chronological resume is usually used to
first show your previous employment, promotions, increases in
responsibility and other accomplishments. It differs from the
functional resume in that the previous employment and
accomplishments are dealt with separately.
The Combined Resume
The combined resume is used to incorporate features of both the
functional resume and the
chronological resume. It uses the best
components of each type of resume. The combined type of resume
can be described as a resume that places emphasis on your
qualifications and skills but in chronological order. Therefore,
it will differ from the functional resume in that it lists
employment in a chronological order. However, it will differ
from the chronological resume by having more emphasis on your
skills and accomplishments, and not discussing these components
separately.
The Type To Use
It should be stated that the type of resume you submit would
depend on the type of job you are seeking. Many employers prefer
the functional resume because they are more familiar with it
since it is the most common type of resume. You may consider
creating resumes of each type and use them to meet the
expectations of a particular employer. Generally, if you are
responding to an advertised position you can get some idea of
what the prospective employer expects from the applicant.
