Which Resume/Cv format will work best for you?
Do you know that there are a number of different ways to lay out your Resume/Cv? Depending
on your career situation, there might be a more appropriate format that will bring
you better results. Each has advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to
consider them all before reaching a decision on which will work for you.
If you're planning to change jobs but continue working in the same field, the Chronological
Resume/CV is probably the best option. This is the most traditional format and the one
you're probably most familiar with. It's also good if you're changing fields but
remaining in a very similar kind of job. Your career history is shown in reverse
chronological order, with a strong emphasis on job titles and the names of your
employers.
Resume Builder This is good if your current or previous employers are well-known organizations.
It also shows your career development clearly, meaning that promotions show up well.
People like the Chronological Resume/CV because it is clear and easy to read.
However, there are times when the Chronological Resume/CV isn't going to be the best format
for you, and when a Functional, Targeted or Alternative Resume/CV may be more successful
in securing interviews.
Functional Resume/CV
If you've had a varied career
or are seeking to change direction, this format may be suitable, as it highlights
the main achievements and functions (skills, competencies or expertise) of your
work history. Job titles and company names are reduced in importance and sometimes
even left out altogether. The Functional Resume/CV may strengthen your application if you
want to draw attention to skills that haven't been used in your most recent work.
It also works if you've had many varied jobs, as it allows you to sum up your overall experience.
Yet there are instances when
this isn't the most appropriate format. Promotions aren't as prominent, as your
list of positions is included on the second page. For the same reason, highly prestigious
past employers may not be noticed (although you could highlight them in your profile
and covering letter). If you haven't had many responsibilities, this Resume/CV could make
your experience look narrow. Another disadvantage is that some employers may not
like this format - recruitment personnel are aware that it can be used to conceal
weak areas.
Targeted Resume/CV
This type of Resume/CV emphasizes the
skills and experiences that are directly relevant to the kind of job or field you're
applying for. It's extremely useful when you're planning a change of career direction.
It focuses on your abilities and achievements used not just recently, but across
your entire career. It can encompass relevant voluntary or unpaid experience. It
also means that you can aim for several completely different jobs, using a Resume/CV that's
adjusted for each.
The disadvantages are that your
promotions or career development won't be as obvious, as the information will be
on the second page (if included). Employers' names are downplayed and, as with the
Functional Resume/CV, this format isn't liked by all recruiters.
Alternative Resume/CV
This kind of Resume/CV is most often
used by talented people seeking work in the creative industries - eg design, nedia
or public relations - as it is highly individual and uses a one-off visual style.
It's suitable only for applications for posts requiring exception visual or verbal
talent, and then only when the application is being made directly to the person
the applicant will be working for. Even then, it could fail completely if it hits
the wrong note.
This kind of Resume/CV should never
be sent to personnel departments or for advertised vacancies. It is totally unsuitable
for senior managers or executives seeking to hold positions of responsibility.
