The Resume

A resume is a statement of your qualifications for a job. It includes personal information, educational background, and work experience. There are several different kinds of resumes. A resume may be functional or chronological or a combination of the two.

A functional resume highlights the qualifications you have for a particular job. The most important qualifications are given first. A chronological resume lists your educational background and work experience, including specific dates. The dates may be given in reverse time order. This means you may start with the most recent items.
