Chronological Resume

General | Education | Employment | Production | Example

Begin with your name, address, phone number(s), and email address (if you use your email at least every other day). This should be in block form and preferably centered at the top of the page.

Next you will typically have an objective. An objective states the type of employment you are seeking. This could include a few related positions or related areas of work. This is the theme of your persuasive paper and helps you to focus on what education, skills and experience to include in your resume. You may wish to have a resume that does not have an objective for situations such as job fairs.

Education is the next section in the vast majority of resumes.
