All resumes share similar components in three, common formats.
Chronological - Presents job history and education by date. It's organized in reverse order by employer, with the most recent first. Functional - Also called a skills resume, it's a summary of qualifications typically organized by education, experience and skills, with little emphasis on employer history. Combination - Also called a hybrid resume, it's a composite of the two above. Which format is best and in which order the components appear depends on your career situation.
