What is a Resume?
A resume is a written compilation of your education, work experience, credentials, and accomplishments that is used to apply for jobs. It is one of the most important pieces of any job application.

What is the purpose of a resume?
The purpose of a resume is to provide a summary of your skills, abilities and accomplishments. It is a quick advertisement of who you are. It is a "snapshot" of you with the intent of capturing and emphasizing interests and secures you an interview. It is not an autobiography. Since your resume is a primary tool in your job search, it needs to be carefully written and critiqued and current.
Types of Resumes
There are several basic types of resumes used to apply for job openings. Depending on your personal circumstances, choose a chronological, a functional, a combination, or a targeted resume.
The Chronological Resume format is the most effective choice for individuals with a strong or continuous work history, and an increased level of responsibility in the occupational area stated in the resume objective.
Dates should be placed on the resume in reverse chronological order (most recent jobs listed first) to highlight the continuous work history and increasing levels of responsibility.
Job titles may be italicized, capitalized, underlined or printed in bold to emphasize increased responsibility. The resume should then list those skill and qualifications, or characteristics offered to an employer.
The Functional Resume is usually chosen by individuals without a strong work history or current work experience. It emphasizes skill areas and de-emphasizes work history and dates.
The functional resume is for someone who would like to change careers, has no career history or desires a job in another field. It lists areas of expertise, skills and qualifications with the most extensive skills listed near the top of the resume.
For example, this could include management, leadership, technical or communication skills which employers’ desire.
The Combination Resume combines the strongest elements of the chronological and functional formats to include both job-related qualifications and work experience.
This provides strong support for the stated job objective. The combination resume may be useful for someone who wants to emphasize work history in addition to specific skill areas.
This is a hybrid resume with the functional format at the top portion of the resume and the chronological format at the bottom.
The Targeted Resume focuses on a specific job opening. The targeted resume is written to highlight the skills and experiences relevant to a particular position. When sending targeted resumes, the resume will be edited or rewritten for each job the candidate applies to.
