Sample Resumes

There is no single standard résumé format. It is important to choose a design that highlights your skills and accomplishments. 

There are two basic types of résumés: chronological and functional. A chronological résumé highlights your work history by date. A functional résumé highlights your skills.  From these two formats, a number of variations can be developed. The most common variations are combination résumés and targeted résumés.
