Effective Resume

What is an effective resume?
In simple terms, it's a tool that gets you the job or, at
the very least, an interview for the job. An effective
resume succinctly describes your talents, experience,
and expectations while giving an accurate window into
your personality and ability.
A good resume is one that is chosen from a large pool,
one that, at a glance, instantly illustrates your fit for the
job.

appropriate for you and the company you are applying

Chronological

Functional

Targeted

Chronological

The chronological resume is by far the most common.
This style of resume lists topics in reverse chronological
order, from most recent to least recent. Employers are
most accustomed to this style. Most prefer it, because it
shows your experience and career path in a well-
presented format.

Resume Formats

The Internet has drastically changed the way we search
and apply for jobs. You, as the job applicant, have more
options than a single sheet of white paper for the format
of your resume.

Text-based scannable resumes have added more
flexibility to resume building techniques, thus giving
employers more information than ever to base their
decision making on.
Here is a list of the most popular resume formats:

Standard

Scannable

Each format has its inherent benefits and it is a good
idea to know exactly who it is you is applying to and
what type of resume is going to suit their needs.
In many instances, a combination of all formats will be
effective.
