The information in resumes is usually presented with the most recent and significant information in each category listed first. There are many formats that you can consider for your resume. A Chronological Resume presents your education and work experience in a by date format - either in chronological order or reverse chronological order showing most recent data first. A Functional Resume focuses on your skills and achievements by describing a number of activities and accomplishments that demonstrate your experience. This type of resume can be used to address specific selection criteria.
Some resumes combine elements of the chronological and functional approach.
Student's resumes should be between two and three pages of well spaced detailed information in a structured and consistent format that is easy to read. It is therefore helpful to put the information in this order. The presentation of your resume is as important as the content. Include your name on every page of your resume. One staple is enough.
