LESSON 2 FINALS

2. Chronological Resume
⚫A chronological resume starts by listing out your work
history, beginning with your most recent position first
and continuing in reversechronological order.
⚫To supplement each position listed, key
accomplishmentsand qualificationsare included.
⚫An Education section follows, including the schools
you attended and when, degree(s) earned, your
major(s)/minor(s), and any honorsorawards received.

3. Chronological Resume
⚫For new grads: list Education first, then Experience. In
addition, you will typically also include a Skills section
which will include computer skills, laboratory skills or
languages spoken, etc..

4. Functional Resume
⚫A functional resume focuses more on the skills you
have acquired rather than a listing of positions you
have held.
⚫Functional resumes usually highlight a few key areas of
experience and list responsibilities and
accomplishments foreach experience area.
⚫These skill clusters should be specific and filled with
lots of context, as well as targeted to the jobs you are
applying for.

5. Combination Resume
⚫A combination resume is a hybrid of chronological and
functional resumes.
⚫Professional skill clusters with accomplishments are
listed first, followed by a work history section in
reverse-chronological order.
⚫The work history section need only be your job titles
held, name and location of the companies, and your
datesof employment.

6. Combination Resume
⚫You do not need to list what you did at each job
because that information is already included in your
professional skillssection.
