36. Define the type of the following resumes.

HELP box

There are three main types of résumés:

• Chronological: lists your experience in reverse order. The focus is on work experience.

Although most familiar to employers, it causes gaps in work history to stand out. It does not allow you to highlight skills. Good for those searching for work in a same/similar field and those with strong work history.

• Functional: highlights your best skills and downplays work experience. A functional resume is good for persons who have limited work experience. It highlights strengths and hides weaknesses.

• Combination: combines the best of chronological and functional. Although it takes longer to write, it allows for greater versatility. Choosing words carefully and laying out the resume effectively are the greatest priorities in this style.
