Chapter 11 on Résumés covered three standard forms of résumés – reverse chronological, functional, and combination. It offered tips and strategies for utilizing these three formats for the best results. While the reverse chronological is the most common type of résumés, the chapter also mentions its particular function when someone has more work experience to showcase and puts the emphasis of the résumé on this section. The functional résumé is geared toward skills, abilities, and accomplishments for someone who maybe hasn’t had as much working experience but has qualities that would really highlight why they are still right for the job. Lastly, the combination of the chronological and functional résumé allows for both working experience and skills to stand out as they are incorporated into each. As always, some formatting rules must be considered, such as not exceeding two pages, easy readability, bulleted lists, and concise writing.
