"You never get a
second chance to
create a first
impression."
A resume (or résumé, from French “to sum up”) is a short, straight-to-
the-point, document created for the purpose of applying to a
specific job.

The purpose of a resume is to provide
recruiters with a brief overview of the
candidate’s work history.
you only mention the aspects of
your work experience and skills that
are relevant to the job you’re
applying for.
A good resume highlights specific
contributions you have made in
your previous work and showcases
how your different skills can be
useful for the position you are
applying to.
It is usually accompanied by the
submission of a cover letter which
states your intent for applying to
the job

A CV (full form Curriculum Vitae which is Latin for “course of life”) is
an in-depth document which describes the whole course of your
career in full detail.

A CV is a very in-depth document that
describes your career journey step-
by-step, including all sorts of personal
information.
You can look at the CV as a
comprehensive description of
everything you have ever done, all
the achievements you are proud of,
and all the publications that bear
your name.
You need to update your CV every
time you accomplish something
new academically or professionally.
Meaning, whenever you get a new
job, publish something new, obtain
a new certificate, and so on.

These two go hand-in-hand but refer
to different things.
• Chronological Resume
• Functional Resume
• Combination
Also called reverse-chronological resume.

This is the more traditional format and is what you are most likely to come across.
Chronological format is flexible and can be used for applicants with any level of experience.
A chronological resume is a resume type that focuses heavily on your work history.

Its key feature is that it lists your work history in order of when you held each position (in
chronological order), with your most recent job listed at the top of the section.

The chronological format is the most common type of resume, and is considered the
standard for most industries.
The two advantages of a chronological resume are:
• It lets the hiring manager easily see how you’ve progressed in your career
• It puts your most relevant work experience at the top, where it’ll be seen first by
recruiters and employers
Who Should Use It?

A chronological resume is ideal if you have no major gaps between your previous jobs,
consistent progression throughout your career, and a long record of accomplishments and
skills in the industry you’re applying to.
In using this kind of format, you should use if:
• You want to show a vertical career progression.
• You want to apply to a job in a similar field.
• You want to promote my upward career mobility

In using this kind of format, you shouldn’t use if:

• You have major gaps in my employment history.
• You are changing your career path.
• You are changing jobs every few months.
A functional resume is a type of resume designed to focus on your relevant
professional skills rather than your chronological work history.

The defining feature of a functional resume is its expanded “Relevant Skills” section,
which takes up the majority of your resume and replaces a detailed work experience
section.
While chronological places emphasis on career progression, a functional format
focuses on your abilities and skills. Since it heavily emphasizes the applicant’s
qualifications, functional format is more suitable for those with an expert level of
experience.

In using this kind of format, you should use if:

You have gaps in my employment history.
You am changing my career industry.
You want to highlight a specific skill set.

In using this kind of format, you shouldn’t use if:

• You want to highlight my upward career mobility.
• You an entry level candidate that lacks experience.
• As you can probably guess the combination format merges bits and pieces from
both chronological and functional formats.

• Like the functional format, it focuses on specific qualifications, yet the body of
the document contains professional experience similar to chronological format.

• This format is generally reserved for those with a great deal of experience in a
particular industry.
 • A combination resume mixes the most useful elements of the chronological and
functional resume formats.
• It focuses on your skills, as a functional resume does, but also provides ample
space for you to detail your work history — usually in chronological order.

Who Should Use It

• Compared with the other types of resume formats, a combination resume is a
good choice if you have any of the following to showcase:
- Technical skills you’ve developed over a long, specialized career
- Transferable skills, with full details of your work history
In using this kind of format, you should use if:
• You want to highlight a developed skill set within a specific career.
• You want to change your career path.
• You are a master of the subject you are applying to.

In using this kind of format, you shouldn’t use if:

• You want to highlight your education.
• You lack experience.
• You are an entry level candidate.
