Example Combination Resume

Combination Resume

The combination resume includes aspects of both the chronological and functional resumes. Your work history and skills or accomplishments are emphasized equally. This format allows you to include a section about prior work experiences and a section on your functional and transferable skills.

The combination format is well accepted by hiring authorities and you should consider using it when:

1. You have a steady and progressive employment history.
2. You are applying for a position for which the chronological resume is expected but you also want to highlight qualifications from earlier positions.
3. You are writing a targeted resume and need an effective way to match your skills to the job requirements.
