Chronological Resume
The most common type of job resume is chronological. It starts with the Work History and lists your work experience from the most recent to your first work. It is recommended for those who have worked for at least 3 jobs already. It shows the employer if you have been working continually or not, if the work duties that you had developed over the years and if you have accomplished enough skills already from your previous work that makes you qualified for the job that you are applying for right now.
Chronological resume is not recommended to those who have no prior work experience.
