Resume Formats - Choosing the Right One

The Combination Resume

The combination resume format combines the functional and chronological formats. It includes functional skill categories, but also lists the dates of previous employment.

This format works well for job seekers who:

  • May have obtained the required skills from seemingly unrelated industries or jobs
  • Are trying to change careers and want to emphasize transferable skills
  • Have had a steady work history

 

Click on the buttons in the interactive to learn more about the Combination resume format. Visit the Resume Gallery to see a full view of the teacher sample resume used in this interactive.

The combination resume works well for anyone, and employers like this format because it focuses on skills and experience but doesn’t hide employment history.
