Types Of Resumes
1. Chronological Resumes
Listing of your jobs and experience with most recent mentioned first
Good for job seekers who have practical work experience with long periods of employment Resume type most preferred by employers
020870A01_LT 8
2. Functional Resumes
Doesnt go in chronological order. Based upon competencies or skills. Used for career changers or those with unconventional work histories (or executives). Might say Sales Experience then list it. Typically brief with a simple list of positions held, etc. De-emphasizes importance of specific jobs. Drawbacks to this system (not as popular).

Scannable Resume
Watch bullet points (dont always scan). How about a dash - ? Use labels or keywords. Experiment with fonts & styles; bold, italic, and underlines
Less is more.
Keep the design simple. Margins at sides and bottom.
