Ways not to fine tune your résumé: State your reasons for leaving a job. Use abbreviations or contractions. Write lengthy prose. Use multiple fonts, typographic symbols, or
other visual elements (like logos or clip art). Use personal pronouns (I, me, my). Include a photograph. Mention personal data (e.g., height, weight,
health, age or date of birth, marital status,
race, religion, sex, etc.).

Chronological:
• Time and continuity. • Easy to organize, write, and read. • Most commonly used type of résumé.• Emphasizes career growth and progression.
It is not advantageous for people with limited or unrelated employment experience.

Functional:
• Focuses on professional skills, responsibilities, and accomplishments. • De-emphasizes dates and specific work experiences.• Highlights specific skills that the job requires.
It is good for recent graduates, liberal arts majors, career changers, and people with limited work experience or interrupted careers.
