Chronological? Functional? Or Combination?

Posted by ayeshawrites4u on July 25, 2008

Chronological resumes… Functional resumes… are things of the past.  If you are still using these two formats or trying to decide between them, then you are not giving your resume a chance to succeed.   Now, employees are being advised to use combination resumes. 

What is a combination resume?

A combination resume has become the new format used by resume writers for the past three to five years.  A combination resume takes the positives of both the functional resume and the chronological resume and puts them all into a nice little grouping.  I advise most of of my clients to use a combination resume because it allows them to highlight their qualifications AND their skill sets.

If your resume is ONLY chronological or functional, you might want to ask your resume writer is their a better alternative…
