Chronological
See example résumé
Use this type if:
- You have a strong, consistent work history
- You'd like to focus on your work history, and not your skills
Do not choose this style if your work history is inconsistent, or else it will be obvious to employers if you've been out of work for long periods of time.

Functional
See example résumé
Use this type if:
- You have an inconsistent work history
- You have no or little experience related to the job you are seeking
- You'd like to focus on your skills and your accomplishments
A functional résumé is ideal for job seekers with little experience. You can emphasize your skills, abilities, and strengths, while minimizing your weaknesses.

Combined
See example résumé
Use this type if:
- You have a consistent work history
- You'd like to focus on both your work history and your skills
A combined résumé, as the names suggests, is a combination of a chronological and functional résumé. It allows you to display your work history, as well as your skills.
