Most recently, I've updated my work experience to appear first instead of education because at this point in my career the work exp carries more weight. I use a reverse chronology format.

Another reason to use a "functional" resume is if you have done the same type of job for a long period. For example, if I have been a dental assistant for the last 10 years at three different employers, instead of repeating myself three times in the chronological format, I can just list the main same duties I did in the "Dental Assisting Experience" heading of a functional resume. It all really depends on your background, job objective and current point in time of your career/job search. Cheers! Fabulous addition to shed light on the 3 main types of resumes Fox.

I've given me alot to think about, Fox. I have always gone with the chronological format to my resumes, but I’m starting to wonder if the “both” route might be worth exploring.

Thank you for shedding some light on these different resume formats. I've been using the chronological way for years. I'm going to try a combination resume now to see if this works better for my skills. This is an amazing series. Can't wait to see how you finish it. Wow.
