Chronological: A chronological resume gives the history of your work experience in the chronological order in the sequence of their occurrence. Nowadays, a reverse chronological order is in practice, since employers prefer this type as they get to know what you are doing now and where and when you have worked in different organizations.
Functional: This type of resume mainly focuses on your skills and experience. If you keep changing your career quite often and there are gaps (taken long breaks between two employments) in your employment history then it is advisable to prepare this type of resume.
Hybrid/Combination: Mostly this type of resume is prepared. In this type, you list your skills and experience history first and work/employment history next. While drafting your resume a certain strategy can be followed since you can highlight the skills that are relevant for that particular job profile.
Based on the kind of medium used, resumes are of two types:
•Paper-copy/Traditional print resumes
