A. Chronological resumes are the most common type. This is a resume that shows a detailed job history in reverse chronological order. Most resume readers like to see a progression of learning and responsibility and the sequence and logic of the positions held.

Chronological and skills are the two most common formats, with chronological being the most often used.

With chronological formats, you list your experience in reverse chronologic order (more recent jo positions go at the top).

The benefit to using the skill format is if you want to portray a vast array of experiences that might be useful for your employer to know. For example, if you are a writer, having a lot of volunteering, clubs, interests, projects, activities, and other items that show you have a range for article topics is a good way to present yourself in a skill format resume.
