Combination Resume Format

A combination resume integrates the ideas of both a functional and chronological resume by listing specific jobs under broad skill headings. It highlights skills and is easy to follow.

Why choose a Combination Resume format?

If you fall into any one of the following categories, you may want to consider using a combination resume:

• Students, new graduates and entry-level job seekers: This allows job seekers to emphasize their skills rather than their short-lived employment history.
• Workers with a steady, consistent employment history: The addition of a qualifications summary pinpoints the top credentials for the job objective so employers readily see it’s a good match.
• Career changers: Unless you’re making a radical career change, in which case a functional resume probably makes more sense.
• Applicants reentering the job market: Again, this takes a little bit of emphasis off the fact that you have not been working for a while.
• Older workers: Workers with extensive employment history need to sell their strongest credentials; inclusion of a summary section provides that.
