In this article, we’ll discuss the various types of resume formats and strategies to pick the one that is best for you.

  1. Reverse-Chronological: This format is the most common and is the best for those with a solid work history. It lists your work experience in reverse-chronological order, with your most recent job at the top.
  2. Functional Format: This is the best for those who have a wide or non-linear experiences in their work. It is focused on your talents and achievements, not your past work history.
  3. Combination: This format combines elements of the reverse-chronological and functional formats. It highlights your skills and accomplishments, while also listing your work history in reverse-chronological order.
  4. You can tailor it to the position The format of your resume must be customized to match the job you’re applying for. Pick a format that emphasizes the abilities and experiences which are relevant to the position.

First time using a resume writer, and so happy with the finished resume. I was also so impressed with the prompt responses throughout the whole process from Tanya and in general the quick turnaround time to produce it. I love the fact the resume represented who I am based on my skills and attributes. I definitely recommend Dubbo Resume to anyone who hasn't used a resume writer before. They are also so affordable compared to so many on the market who charge an absolute fortune.
