Boost Your Hiring Potential: Choosing the Ideal Resume Format

Posted by Geraldton Resume on 18 Jan 2025

What is the best resume format? There are a variety of options, depending on the specific job and your background on which option to select. The most common to choose from are: Reverse-Chronological, Functional, Combination.

Your resume is a crucial instrument for job searching and it’s crucial that it’s easily read and formatted. We at Geraldton Resume, we specialize in providing resume writing services to ensure that you stand out the rest of the applicants. In this article, we will review the different kinds of resume formats and guidelines on how to pick the right one for you.

  1. Reverse-Chronological: This format is the most common and is the best for those with a solid work history. It lists your work experience in reverse-chronological order, with your most recent job at the top.
  2. Functional Format: This is the best for those who have a wide or non-linear experience in the workplace. It is focused on your talents and accomplishments, rather than your professional history.
  3. Combination: This format combines elements of the reverse-chronological and functional formats. It highlights your skills and accomplishments, while also listing your work history in reverse-chronological order.
  4. You can tailor it to the position Make sure you tailor your resume for the specific position you’re applying to. Select a format that emphasizes your skills and experiences which are relevant to the job.
  5. Ask for help from a professional if you’re having difficulty choosing an appropriate format or require help making it work for your job you’re in, think about seeking help from a professional by contacting Geraldton Resume.

Each of the formats have their own pros and drawbacks. The reverse-chronological format is best for those with a solid work history, the functional format is best for those with diverse or non-linear work experience, and the combination format is a good balance of both. Create a resume that is customized for the job you’re applying for and take professional advice if you require it. Geraldton Resume can also assist you in creating an effective resume format that showcases your expertise and skills.

One of the most professional businesses I have come across. I can not thank Geraldton Resume enough for their work and because of their skillful resume writing I managed to get a job 2 weeks after I sent out my revised resume. Thank you again and I will be telling everyone about you.

I ordered the Gold Package which was a Resume and Cover letter. I would honestly rate it an easy 10/10. Not only was the resume and cover letter perfect but the Customer Service is what really blew me away. Literally a few minutes after making the order I was contacted and a resume plan was formulated. Thank You Tanja :)
