Resume Structure Type and Things to Know About.
Written on 6:51 AM by Gabi
CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME -
Advantages * It is easier to prepare * Employers like this format because it tells them what, where and when you did the work * emphasizes work history * It is a good approach if your job history shows growth and development * Ideal if continuing in the same field as previous jobs - Disadvantages * Not ideal format if looking for a first job or making a career change * Reveals gaps, frequent job changes and absences from the job market
FUNCTIONAL RESUME - Advantages * Emphasizes relevant skills acquired through various experiences * De-emphasizes where your experience was obtained * Good format for your first job or a career change * Best for those who have been absent from the market for an extended period of time * Plays down gaps in work history and makes frequent job changes less noticeable - Disadvantages * Not as useful if you have a limited number of skills * Employment history is not highlighted * Progression within your career is not emphasized
COMBINED RESUME - Advantages * Allows you to emphasize skills acquired through various experiences * Satisfies the employer's desire for more information in the Work History section * Lets you to be more creative in arranging and presenting important information * Effective for more job seekers - Disadvantages * Not as effective if there have been lengthy gaps between jobs or you are making a career change * Takes longer to read because it contains both skills and work history
