Chronological: The most common and commonly expected type of resume. A chronological resume lists the applicant's job history in reverse chronological order. This sort of resume is excellent for expressing one's history of increasing responsibilities and career growth.
Functional: The functional resume is designed to highlight an applicant's skills. Information is arranged via experience summaries, specific skill sets (e.g., computer applications, foreign language fluencies) and competencies. Excellent for those changing careers or those entering the job market for the first time.
Combination: A combination of chronological and functional, a combination resume most often leads with a functional list of skills and then lists job experience.
Curriculum Vitae: "The course of life", this form of resume is generally used by academics and executives. Comprehensive job histories, bibliographies of published work, personal appearances and speaking engagements, and other achievements are all listed in a CV, leading to a document that can be ten or more pages long.
Junior Resume: A chronological resume for those entering the workforce, junior resumes lead with educational accomplishments rather than job experience.
