Combination Resumes

Combination resumes merge the chronological and functional styles. They present the knowledge, skills and abilities gained from work in a reverse-chronological order.



This resume type highlights your skills and experiences. The combination type of resume is best if you:
  • Wish to include volunteer or internship experience
  • Have a varied employment history
  • Are changing careers

Advantages:
  • Provides employers with the expected chronological format
  • Highlights your skills
  Disadvantages:
  • Can be repetitious if similar functions or skills are utilized in different positions
  • May be longer than the chronological and functional formats
