advantages & disadvantages of a chronological resume

The chronological resume is the hiring manager's preferred resume type because the professional experience is easy to follow. All the information is laid out in reverse chronological order and interviewers can read through your career history and accomplishments without having to weed through unnecessary information.

At times, resume writing requires creative thinking. So although the chronological resume is the easiest format for do-it-yourselfers to create, the layout may not be the best for your specific situation. You may need a combination resume or a functional resume instead.

the chronological resume format

Normally, the chronological resume has three sections: career summary, professional experience, and education and training section. Below I fleshed out each section.

Career Summary
The resume begins with an introduction that spells out the relevant strengths and skills you've honed over the years. You can also include a series of keywords. Here's an example career summary:

Serve as a link between customers and the company. Deliver strong customer service to 100+ customers per day. Leverage persuasive communication skills to ease customer dissatisfaction and resolve inquiries.

Core Competencies:

Juggle Multiple Tasks

Accurate Data Entry

Active Listening Skills

MS Word and Excel Experience

Strong Organizational Skills

Professional Experience
Include three to five positions along with a description of each. Here's an example of an operations manager position fleshed out.
