RESUME SAMPLES
Includes examples of chronological resumes, two-page resume, and a functional resume.
Chronological Resume: This format lists the items in each section in reverse chronological order. Your
education section begins with the degree you are currently working on with an anticipated graduation
date listed. Your experience begins with your current or most recent job first. Employers typically prefer
this type of resume because it’s easy to see your entire work history at a glance. They are most
comfortable with this format.
Two-Page Resume: A typical resume should one or two pages in length. It is best to stick to one page if
you do not have a lot of related experience. If you go to a second page make sure to include your name
at the top of the page. Never go over two pages.
Functional Resume: Also known as a skills-based resume. This format focuses on your related skills and
experience rather than your chronological work history. It is used most often by people who are
changing careers, have gaps in their work history, or have very little related work experience. Employers
are less comfortable with this type of resume.
