Chronological Resume - Format

Chronological Resume

This is the most commonly used format. It is written in reverse chronological order—with your most recent education and experiences listed first. It is also the easiest to develop.


Some of the benefits of a Chronological Resume include:

It emphasizes the organization(s) you worked for and the educational background that you have. If you work for a large well-known company (or have worked for 2 or more) this might be the right design for you.

Did you attend a respected educational institution? The Chronological format will highlight that better than the other formats.

If you will be staying in the same line of work, this style leads the employer through your progress easily and chronologically.

Do you work in a conservative field? Once again you will find that the Chronological format may be the best one for you. Many employers truly prefer a more traditional approach.


Of all the resume "flavors", the Chronological is good to use in nearly all circumstances. When it is well-written, it will almost never work against you, except perhaps in the most progressive of industries.
