Chronological Resume Examples
Land that dream job
Now that you know what a chronological resume is and how to format one, let's take a look at an example chronological resume for someone with a solid work history and one for a recent graduate. In the first of the two chronological resume examples, employers are able to clearly and quickly see Anita's solid work history, as well as her career growth. If Anita was a recent graduate with little experience, she could move the education section above the work experience in order to highlight her degree. This can be seen in the second chronological resume example.
As always, it is imperative that your resume be error-free in order to make the best first impression. Let our resume editors review your document before applying for that dream job.
