What is the best resume format? There are many options to choose from depending on the job you are in and your previous experience when deciding on the best option. The most common to choose from are: Reverse-Chronological, Functional, Combination.

Your resume is a critical tool for job seeking and it’s crucial that it’s well-formatted and easy to read. At Perth Resume Writing Services, we specialize in providing resume writing services to make you stand out from the competition. In this article, we will review the different kinds of resume formats and guidelines on how to pick the one that is best for you.

  1. Reverse-Chronological: This format is the most common and is the best for those with a solid work history. It lists your work experience in reverse-chronological order, with your most recent job at the top.
  2. Functional The format is ideal for those who have a wide or non-linear experiences in their work. It is focused on your talents and achievements, rather than the work experience.
  3. Combination: This format combines elements of the reverse-chronological and functional formats. It highlights your skills and accomplishments, while also listing your work history in reverse-chronological order.
  4. You can tailor it to the position Your resume should be tailored to the job you’re applying to. Select a format that emphasizes the abilities and experiences that are most relevant to the job.

Cannot speak highly enough about my new resume and cover letter. Tanja has done an amazing job. I haven’t needed a resume for 26 years as I’ve been with the same employer but due to the current situation with COVID-19 I’m out there having to get back into the game. The advantage of Tanja writing my resume is that she has a background in HR and understands what looks good and the importance of making an impact with key words. Tanja also helped me apply for a job with that required specific targeted responses. Many thanks great work and an effortless and seamless process.

I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago. After feeling stagnated in my job, I started to look at my resume again and attempted to update it. After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume. Tanja was great, very prompt at replying to any queries I had and returned an updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile within 3 business days. I must say the documents look great. Highly recommended.

I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere with my job hunting so I thought I would give the professionals a go. I was so pleased with the thoroughness from Perth Resume. They make you do a little bit of work for them so they can get a really good feel of who you are about, they then take your talents and showcase them in a truly polished professional series of documents. Thanks for getting me out of the jobhunt blues!
