Chronological or Hybrid.
Reverse Chronological is the most well recognized – HR professionals and recruiters prefer this format and it is an option for almost all applicants.
Hybrid is Chronological + Skills-Based and enables you to highlight skills that might not be immediately obvious based on your experience. This is a good option for applicants changing careers or practice areas.
Always include where and when and who:
Where did you work? That includes the company name and location.
When did you work there?
Who were you when you were there; what was your title?
Know which answers are more valued in your industry. For example, if your title is more important than where you worked highlight that.
