The Chronological Resume
The most commonly used resume format is the chronological resume. On a chronological resume, your work history is listed by job title beginning with your current or most recent job.
The chronological resume works best for job seekers who:
- Want to showcase a steady employment history
- Are looking for a position that matches or logically progresses from previous jobs
- Are seeking a conventional position, such as an office clerk, accountant, or teacher
