Not only is it important to understand the different types of formatting available for these items, it can also be tricky to showcase your skills, abilities, and knowledge in a way that shows a potential employer why you are a good fit in their organization.  \nResume Toolkit  \nThere are a variety of resume formats that employers may ask for. Below, we will explore the following formats  \n• Tradi􀆟onal resume  \n• Infographic resume or online por􀆞olio  \n• Video resume  \nWhat Type of Resume Should I Use  \n• Choose the type of resume that best fits your skills!  \n• Some job pos􀆟ngs may indicate which they prefer.  \n• Consider which style will best represent you.  \nResume Types  \nTradi􀆟onal Resume  \n• Chronological:  \no This style of resume is the most common type of resume.  \no This resume format lists work experience in reverse chronological order, so your most recent experience down to your least recent experience.  \no It provides names of employers, locations, dates of employment, job titles, and a brief description of your job responsibilities. This is a great way to highlight your past work experience.  \n• Functional:  \no This resume format organizes work experience into groups based on skills or functions.  \no If a standard resume format that shows your work history does not accurately represent you for a job, you can try the functional resume format, which showcases your transferable skills.  \no Dates and places of employment are usually briefly summarized at the end of the resume. The information is organized without regard to time sequencing or where each competency was gained.  \no This is a great way to self-market your skills and is an especially great option for those who have not yet gained a lot of professional experience.  \n• Combination:  \no The mix of chronological and functional resumes results in the “combination” resume. Skills and abilities are listed first, followed by chronological experience. This resume format is good for emphasizing specific skills and abilities of professionals with diverse backgrounds and creative applicants like designers or artists.  \nTradi􀆟onal Resume Forma􀆫ng-Best Prac􀆟ces  \n• 2 pages maximum.  \n• Write in the third person. Avoid using \"I,\" \"my,\" or \"me\" .  \n• Use bulleted points to make finding relevant informa􀆟on easy for the employer.  \n• Include your email address and phone number.  \no Ensure that your email address and voicemail gree􀆟ng are appropriate and professional.  \n• Font:  \no Font should be large enough to be read.  \no 11/12 font size minimum.  \no Choose a more standard, easy-to-read font.  \no Keep font consistent throughout your resume and cover leter.  \nVideo Resume  \n• A video resume is a digital recording where a job applicant presents themselves and their qualifications for a job.  \n• A video resume allows candidates to showcase their personality, communication skills, and enthusiasm for the role through a video format.  \n• In a video resume, candidates might:  \no Introduce themselves and provide a brief overview of their background.  \no Highlight key skills, experiences, and accomplishments relevant to the job.  \no Explain why they’re interested in the position and the company.  \no Demonstrate their communication abilities and professional demeanor.  \n• These can be a great way to stand out! However, they should be professional, concise, and tailored to the specific job you're applying for.  \nVideo Resume Forma􀆫ng-Best Prac􀆟ces  \nHere are some 􀆟ps for making a good video resume:  \n1. Plan Your Content:  \na. Prepare a script or outline to ensure you cover all key points: introduc􀆟on, skills, experiences, and why you’re a good fit for the role.  \n2. Presenta􀆟on Maters:  \na. Wear a􀆫re appropriate for the industry and role you’re applying for. Dress as you would for an in-person interview.  \nb.
