history and education according to the time sequence of their occurrence
(chronologically). It provides background
information including employers, positions, responsibilities,
and accomplishments. It is best used for those who plan to
stay in the same field and/or whose experience is in that
field. See an example of a chronological
resume.

resume. In this type of resume, you present
information in major categories, or functional areas, of
experience rather than chronologically. Its purpose
is to show transferable skills and experience and is
often used for those changing fields or for those whose
experience has been in a variety of fields. See an
example of a functional
resume.
