FORMAT OF THE CV

CHRONOLOGIC
AL
This is the most common type of CV. For a
chronological CV, list your academic history and
professional experience first after your contact
information. This type of CV focuses largely on your
academic and professional experience.

 Qualifications and skills

 Awards and honors

 Publications and presentations

 Grants and scholarships

 Licenses and certifications

 Professional associations
 FUNCTIONAL
This CV format places more emphasis on your
skills, awards and honors. If you are writing a
functional CV, you should place your relevant skills
near the top under your contact information. In a
functional CV, you will allocate more space to your
qualifications, skills, awards and honors and less
space to your professional experience.

NOTES:

A functional CV may be the right

choice if you have recently graduated
and are entering the job market for the
first time, have multiple gaps in
employment or you’re changing
careers.
COMBINATION
This CV type is a hybrid of the chronological and
functional formats and allows adequate space for
details about both your professional and educational
history, as well as your skills and accomplishments.
The elements you place first depend on your
experience, career goals and what you believe is most
relevant to the types of positions you’re seeking.
For example, if you’re hoping to earn a
teaching position at a university and you’ve
spent the past ten years as an educator, you
should list your professional background
first.
THANK
YOU…^^
