Your resume is the most critical part of the modern job application process. Writing the best resume possible is more important than ever now that online job postings attract several applicants all after the same goal. A well-organized, concise, relevant, and accomplishment-focused resume will increase your chances of landing an interview while a poorly written resume could get rejected at a glance.  \nTYPES OF RESUMES  \nResumes are like advertisements and it's best to choose the one that fits you and your circumstance. Different types of resumes may apply depending on what type of jobs you are applying for. Each resume type will have different sections, orders, and information needed. Choose the resume type that best fits your scenario. Below are definitions of each type and recommendations on which format works best.  \nChronological  \nChronological resumes are used for students who have a lot of work experience, internships, or education experience pertaining to the job. Work history is listed in chronological order, starting with the most recent job down to the earliest. This resume is preferred by most employers because it provides a quick snapshot of work history, with most recent positions upfront. Use this format if you have a strong work history and a lot of your experiences align with the job listing. This is great for students and new graduates because you may have a gap in employment but it is filled with college experiences.  \nCombination  \nCombination resumes are the most commonly used format for recent graduates. They let you detail both your skills and experience, while also backing this up with a chronological listing of work history. Flexible in nature, the combination resume lets you tailor to the prospective job opening and tell hiring managers a story. Use this format if you have little or irrelevant work experience. This will allow you to stress your education and skills gained through classroom activities.  \nFunctional  \nFunctional resumes focus on your skills and experience first. This type of resume de-emphasizes the dates in which you have worked. Employment history is secondary and is listed under the details of your skills. This type of format is not used as much but may be useful. Use this format if you have lapses in employment, are in the middle of a career transition, are a recent college grad with limited work experience, or have a diverse background with no clear career path.  \n2  \nGENERAL TIPS  \nRead the job description and customize each resume for the specific job you are applying for!  \n● Remember what really matters. Try to view your resume from the perspective of the hiring manager. Focus on what’s relevant to the hiring company, not your own goals and interests.  \n● Use a professional-looking email.  \n● Use active voice along with action w","cbCaid5s90pTtvmo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid5s90pTtvmo","pdf",502690,22,"English","# What is a resume?\n# Types of resumes\n## Chronological\n## Combination\n## Functional\n# General tips\n## Format\n# Sections to include on the resume\n## Contact information\n## Summary statement / summary of qualifications / objective\n## Education\n## Work experience / related experience\n## Skills\n## Awards and honors\n## Volunteer work and affiliations\n# Writing a summary statement\n## What is a summary statement?\n## Summary statement vs objective statement\n## Key elements\n## Crafting a summary statement\n## General career objective examples\n## Summary statement examples\n# Writing effective bullet points\n## What are bullet points?\n## Crafting bullet points\n## Examples of generic vs strong bullet points\n## Examples of effective bullet points\n# Action verbs\n# Combination resume examples\n# Resume templates","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a resume in the job application process?\",\"answer\":\"A resume illustrates the candidate as the best fit for a job by summarizing experience and qualifications.
