The Best Resume Format To Land a Job in 2024
From using an expanded skills section, to putting extra emphasis on your education, there are lots of different ways you can make a resume that highlights your strengths as a candidate.
As featured in *
Best resume format example
Resume formats for different situations, additional resume formatting tips, additional resume resources, resume format faqs.
We’ll help you figure out which resume format will show hiring managers you’re a great fit, and provide plenty of resume templates you can download and use for free.
The chronological resume format is what most job seekers should be using when applying for jobs:
When to use this format: You have no obvious gaps in your employment and want to emphasize your career progression.
The chronological resume format is the most common type of resume. Think of it as the “default” format – it’s what everyone learns to write when they start looking for work.
The highlight of a chronological resume is your work experience , with your most recent position at the top. All other sections of your resume are smaller and usually listed toward the bottom of the page. Whether you’re an experienced professional or just starting out in your career, the chronological format is a safe option.
I should use a chronological format if...
- I’m a recent graduate with transferable skills, relevant work or volunteer experience, extracurriculars, or have done internships.
- I’m applying to a job in a similar field.
- I’m following a standard career path with no difficult-to-explain career gaps or industry switching.
I shouldn't use a chronological format if...
- I’m considering working in a new industry, and my skill set is more impressive than my work experience.
- I frequently change jobs.
If your circumstances are unique – for example, you have large gaps in your work history – you may want to use something other than a chronological format.
For example, some other common resume formats include the:
- Skills-based resume format (aka the functional resume)
Combination resume format
@resumegenius Choosing the right resume format helps to highlight you as the best candidate for the job. 💪 Take the quiz to find out which one suits you best: 🔸resumegeniusDOTme/resume-formats 🔗 #resumeformat #resumetips #jobsearch #jobseeker #careeradvice ♬ original sound – Resume Genius | Career Advice
Functional resume format (or skills-based resume format)
Here’s an example of a resume that uses the functional resume format:
When to use this format: you have large gaps in your career history and want to shift the focus to your transferable skills.
The functional resume format focuses heavily on your relevant job skills instead of your work experience, which is why it’s also known as a skills-based resume .
Instead of outlining your work history chronologically, resumes using a functional resume layout feature a large skills section.
Each skill acts as a heading and provides space for you to include bullet-point examples of you using that skill in a professional setting. No timeframe is necessary, making this appealing for applicants with experience gaps.
I should use a functional resume format if...
- I have multiple large gaps in my employment history.
- I am in the middle of a big career change into a new industry, and my skills will impress employers more than my prior experience.
I shouldn’t use a functional style if...
- My work experience is relevant to my target job.
- I want to highlight my career progression.
- I’m a student or entry-level candidate who lacks experience and skills.
- I lack relevant or transferable skills.
This is what a combination resume looks like:
When to use this format: you have a highly specialized skill set that you’ve developed over a successful career and want to show off both your skills and experience.
A combination resume blends the structure of the chronological and functional resume formats.
Combination resumes:
- Lead with a big skills section (like a functional resume)
- End with a detailed work experience section (like a chronological resume)
If this seems like a lot of information to include, that’s the point. Combination resumes, also known as hybrid resumes , are best if you’ve developed many skills over your career, and have plenty of experience using those skills.
I should use a combination resume format if...
- I want to showcase a relevant and well-developed skill set for a high-level leadership or technical role.
- I want to transfer to a different industry and have many transferable skills.
- I’m a master at what I do.
I shouldn't use a combination resume format if...
- I have no work experience.
- I want to emphasize my educational background.
- I lack the relevant qualifications and skill set for a role.
Entry-level resume format
When to use this format: you’re a college student or recent graduate who lacks work experience and wants to highlight your educational achievements.
If you’re like most students or recent college graduates , you don’t have much formal work experience yet, so your education is the core of your resume . This resume format accommodates that by listing your education section before your experience section.
Experienced resume format
When to use this format: If you’re more than five years into your career, this is the best resume format for you because it focuses heavily on your work history and skills.
Additionally, this format features a core competencies section , giving you plenty of space to highlight your achievements as a professional.
Simple resume format
When to use this format: with a straightforward and easy-to-scan layout, this is a great format to use if you’re applying for highly formal jobs – like those in law or finance.
This simple resume format offers a professional overview of your work history, with a design that minimizes any stylistic elements that might distract from your accomplishments.
Modern format
When to use this format: a modern resume format like this one is perfect if you’re applying for jobs in a more casual industry like marketing or tech and want to stand out.
More casual industries encourage experimentation, so choosing a resume design with bold colors and stylish design elements will help your application stand out.
Another option when creating a resume for a casual or creative industry is to opt for a video resume format. Video resumes are an innovative way to differentiate yourself from other candidates while showcasing your personality and video editing skills.
Your resume’s content is ultimately what will get you interviews. However, minor details like your resume’s margins , line spacing, and text alignment ensure your resume is easy to read and professional.
These little details might seem insignificant, but a well-formatted resume signifies professionalism. If you’re applying for a competitive position and are being compared to candidates with similar qualifications, flawless resume formatting can give you an advantage over other applicants.
Here’s a quick checklist you can use to ensure your resume looks perfect before you send it off:
Before you send your resume off, make sure you also scan it with a free resume checker to make sure all your formatting is easy to read and compatible with ATS software.

Now that you know a bit more about how to format your own resume, here are some frequently asked questions about resume formats:
How many formats are there for creating a resume?
There are three main formats for a resume:
- chronological
- combination
However, there are some other less common ways of formatting your resume.
For example, job seekers applying to jobs in academia may want to use an academic CV , which follows a unique format. Additionally, if you’re applying for work with the federal government, you’ll need to use a federal resume which has specific formatting guidelines.
Are hand-written resumes still used frequently?
No, hand-written resumes aren’t still used frequently and should be avoided even if you have immaculate handwriting. With the wide availability of resume builder tools and word processing software, there’s no reason to write a resume by hand.
Handwriting your resume comes across as unprofessional and makes your resume hard to read. You can easily make a resume in Word, and even if you don’t have access to an online resume builder or a Microsoft Word subscription, there are plenty of free options (like Google Docs or Pages ) for putting together a resume.
Besides, these days most resumes are submitted electronically. It’s easier for employers to keep track of PDFs than physical application documents. So unless you’re applying to a company in person, you’ll likely have to scan your handwritten resume and send it via email anyway.
Does resume format matter?
Yes, resume format does matter. Your resume is all about advertising your greatest qualities as a candidate. In most cases, your most valuable attributes are related to your work experience and relevant achievements, so you should use the chronological resume format.
However, if you have gaps on your resume or are changing careers , the right resume format may be a combination or even a functional format to help you highlight your key strengths while downplaying some of your weaknesses as a candidate.
In a competitive job market, the right resume format can give you the edge you need to land an interview.
What format should my resume be in?
If you’re wondering what file format to use for your resume, it’s good practice to have both:
- a resume format in Word , and
- a resume format in PDF .
When you create a resume in Word, you can then export it as a PDF file so that you have both. Then, you can choose which to submit based on the instructions listed in the job ad.
If there aren’t any instructions, then choose a Word document when applying to large companies (Word files make your resume more ATS friendly ), and a PDF file when you want to make sure the formatting of your resume is preserved across any device.
What is most important to consider when you select a resume format?
When selecting a resume format, it’s most important to consider what your strongest qualifications are for your target role and how you can best present them.
If you want to emphasize the career progression that has perfectly prepared you for your target role, use a chronological format. If you’re changing careers or industries without much experience and your skills are your strongest selling point, a combination or functional resume might be a better option.
Ultimately, you should tailor your resume to communicate your best qualifications to potential employers as efficiently as possible.
What resume format do employers prefer?
Employers prefer the chronological resume format because it’s easy to read and provides a clear overview of your work experience. They can quickly see your career progression and assess your suitability for the role.
The functional and combination formats can also be well-received if they effectively showcase your relevant skills and qualifications.
Research the industry norms and the company’s culture to make an informed choice. If your target industry or company is more traditional, it’s probably best to stick with a chronological resume.
What does a professional resume look like?
Here’s what a professional resume looks like:
A professional resume should be well-organized, visually appealing, and easy to read.
Regardless of the format you choose, follow these tips to make a resume that demonstrates your professionalism:
- Include essential sections like contact information, a summary or objective statement, work experience, education, and relevant skills.
- Use clear headings, bullet points, and concise language to convey your accomplishments and responsibilities.
- Tailor your resume for each job application by highlighting the skills and experiences most relevant to the role.
- Proofread for any errors and keep the formatting consistent throughout.

The Perfect Resume Structure
Not sure how to structure your resume?
Here’s our tried-and-tested resume layout :
- Choose the right resume format or pick a template. If you’re formatting your resume yourself, follow the reverse-chronological format and make sure to follow the right layout rules. Alternatively, you can use one of our premade resume templates and not have to worry about formatting your resume one bit.
- Add relevant contact details and make sure they’re mistake-free. You shouldn’t be missing information such as your full name and job title, e-mail address, and where you’re based. Optionally, you can also include some relevant social media profiles, such as your LinkedIn.
- Include a resume summary or a resume objective. Done right, a resume summary will show the hiring manager you’re a relevant candidate from the get-go and have them read the rest of your resume.
- List your work experience, placing special focus on your achievements. Your work experience becomes more meaningful if you include your achievements in your past roles and manage to make them quantifiable.
- Mention your top soft and hard skills. List any skills you have that are relevant to the job you’re applying for in a seperate section.
- Keep your education section short and concise. Unless you’re an entry-level candidate with little-to-no work experience, keep your education section short and to the point.
- Leverage optional sections like “Languages,” “Certifications,” or “Hobbies and Interests.” Fill up the rest of your resume space with optional sections that can highlight your strengths and qualifications as a candidate (e.g. foreign languages you speak, certifications you’ve obtained over the years, or your hobbies and interests).
3 Examples of Resume Formats
#1. reverse chronological resume format.
This resume format highlights your experience and key professional achievements by listing your latest position and acquired skills first. It’s the most popular resume format among recruiters and the one we advise job seekers to use in 99% of cases.
#2. Functional Resume Format
A functional resume , also known as the skill-based resume, is a resume format that focuses on your professional skill test as opposed to work experience. You’re better off using a functional resume if you’re a recent graduate with no work experience, if you’re switching careers, or if you have a long employment gap .
#3. Hybrid Resume Format
A combination resume combines the two traditional resume formats: the reverse-chronological resume and the functional resume.
As such, this format places emphasis on a candidate’s skills and work experience.

Free Professional Resume Templates
Jobscan’s free Microsoft Word compatible resume templates feature sleek, minimalist designs and are formatted for the applicant tracking systems that virtually all major companies use.
Classic Format Resume Templates
Chronological
These are the three standard resume formats : chronological, hybrid, and functional.
The chronological resume template offers a classic, no frills format. Consider this template if you work in a formal industry or want to bring attention to the impressive companies on your resume. Hybrid resume templates are versatile and the most popular format in today’s job search. Functional resume templates are popular for people changing careers or masking holes in their resume. Jobscan doesn’t typically recommend the functional resume format because recruiters may be suspicious of them .
Fill out your resume faster with our resume builder
Write your resume the free and easy way with the only resume builder designed specifically with ATS-compliant resume templates.
Senior Level and Executive Resume Templates
Once you begin applying to senior level positions, a greater emphasis is placed on the results your organizations have achieved and executive soft skills like leadership , innovation, and entrepreneurial drive. At the executive level, technical skills aren’t as important as they were earlier in your career. Fill out your executive resume template with accomplishments , measurable results, and examples of leadership .
Management Resume Templates
When it comes to writing a management-level resume, try to demonstrate a trajectory of growth along with a combination of deep industry knowledge and interpersonal skills. You need to prove that you’re an expert in your field who is able to delegate tasks and lead your team.
Mid-Career Resume Templates
When you’re no longer entry-level but still working as an independent contributor (vs a manager), your resume needs to focus on your ability to execute. A strong emphasis should be on the hard skills found in the job description. Back these skills up with context to demonstrate your level of expertise.
Recent Grad Resume Templates
When you’re looking for an entry-level job right out of college, your resume is going to look a little different. Your education section is moved up above your work experience and you’re expected to expand upon your college experience. Go into detail with honors, clubs, coursework, etc.
The Importance of ATS-Friendly Resume Templates
If you’re uploading your resume into an online form as part of your job application, it is critical for your resume template to be compatible with applicant tracking systems (ATS) . An expertly written resume complete with a sleek design and optimized resume keywords and action verbs could still fall short if the formatting isn’t ATS compliant.
When you upload your resume , applicant tracking systems parse out the text to make it searchable for a recruiter. They may also transfer the information from our resume to a uniform digital candidate profile. Even if you’re perfectly qualified for the job, your chances of getting a job interview are much lower if an ATS can’t accurately parse your resume.
ATS-friendly resumes are often similar to minimalist resume templates but go a step further to account for ATS algorithms and behaviors. Among other considerations, ATS-friendly resume templates account for the fact that:
- Many ATS can’t handle tables or images.
- Parsing accuracy is dependent on heading names and correctly sequencing your work experience information.
- Certain resume fonts might not be displayed properly in all ATS.
- PDF and docx file types work better than others.
Find out if your resume is ATS-optimized with Jobscan’s resume optimization tool . It will help you write the perfect resume so that you stand out from the competition.
How to Use a Resume Template
Be Selective
Finding the right resume template for you is the first step. Select a template that is ATS-friendly and includes space for all the elements you need to tell your story.
Customize Your Template
Not finding the perfect resume template? Select the best one and make some adjustments. For example, you can remove a hobbies section if you need more room for your work history, add a space for key certifications that don’t fit in the template or add a skills section to better highlight your technical skills.
Resume templates are meant to be a guide to a better resume, not an unbreakable set of rules.
Tailor Your Resume to the Job Every Time
Recruiters and hiring managers are more likely to respond to a resume that is carefully tailored for the specific position .
This means using the job description to focus on the skills and keywords that are most important to the job. Showing that you are results-oriented is another great way to show you are the best candidate. Including relevant measurable results and accomplishments on your resume help demonstrate that you understand what is most important to the company’s success.
After you’ve tailored your resume information within the template, run it through Jobscan’s resume optimization tool to see how well it matches the job. In fact, more than 1 million job seekers have used our tool to help them find the next step in their career—see how it can help you!

Resume Template FAQs
What is the best resume template for me?
The best resume template is the one that provides room for you to showcase your relevant skills and tell the complete story of your relevant work experience.

For executive-level applicants, a template that focuses on your executive summary and work experience will be best.
Which resume format is best?
Recruiters prefer chronological or hybrid formatted resumes. All of the templates above are great choices! We do not recommend using a functional template, which focuses primarily on skills and downplays work history.

You’ll end up with an eye-catching, professionally formatted resume that will make you look good in the eyes of recruiters and hiring managers.
The Three Main Resume Formats
There are three standard resume formats, each highlighting a different set of your biggest achievements.
You can choose between them based on several factors: the type of job you’re applying for, the industry, and your work experience. The three resume formats are:
Reverse chronological resume format
- Functional (or skills-based) resume format
Combination resume format
Let’s take a look at some resume examples.

Combination (hybrid) resume sample
You’ve seen pitch-perfect examples of resumes written in each of the standard formats. Now, see which one suits your current career situation best.
The key area of focus in this resume format is your work history section. You list your work experience in reverse chronological order, beginning with your current or most recent position, followed by the one before it, then another one, and so on.
This format is the safest (and usually the best) pick for virtually any candidate. You’ll find out why in a moment.
Here’s an example of the reverse chronological resume format:
Why the reverse chronological resume format is the best
This is, by far, the most common resume format. In addition, in 95% of cases, it’ll be the best format for you. This is because:
1. Recruiters are familiar with it.
And they really like it! The reverse chronological resume highlights what matters the most for recruiters. It makes their job easier because it takes them less time to spot your key skills and accomplishments. Plus, from a purely psychological point of view, humans love familiarity because it means comfort. Therefore, using a familiar resume format might increase your chances with recruiters.
2. It highlights your best achievements.
Your work experience and achievements are often key things that recruiters search for in a resume. This resume format makes them readily available in the top third of your resume, showcasing just how successful you are.
3. It’s ATS-friendly.
A lot of companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) — a software that scans your resume and looks for key information before any human lays eyes on it. Consider it a pre-step in recruiting. If you don’t pass it, a recruiter will never get the chance to check out your resume and you’ll never land an interview. That’s why it’s best practice to use a reverse chronological resume, as ATS is “used to it” and it’ll increase your chances of getting noticed.
Sections to include in a reverse chronological resume
Here’s what you need to include in your reverse chronological resume format, in this exact order:
1. Contact information
Here’s where your name goes, along with your email address, phone number, location, LinkedIn URL, and optionally other information such as a blog, portfolio, or relevant social media. You can also include your job title below your name, but it’s optional.
Don’t add your photo and date of birth (in most countries it’s frowned upon, in the US it’s plain illegal).
Additionally, use a professional email address containing only your name and surname, and make sure there are no typos in your email address and phone number.
2. Resume summary or resume objective
Summarize the most important information about yourself in 2–4 sentences. Include your role and years of experience, key accomplishments and skills, and what you can bring to the table. If you don’t have a lot of experience, focus on your transferable skills, education, certifications, and the desired goal (again, with a focus on what you bring to the table). If you’re a student, learn how to acquire skills for your resume .
3. Work experience
Without a doubt, this is the key section.
Here, try to focus on achievements rather than duties. List your positions in reverse chronological order and format it like this:
- Company name and location
- Employment dates
- Main responsibilities (list them in bullet points and make sure you list key achievements, both qualitative and quantitative)
- For your current or most recent position, include up to 7 bullet points
- As you go back in time, limit the number of bullets per entry
For more details and a ton of examples, see our article: Work Experience on a Resume .
4. Education
Start with your highest degree. If you have a bachelor’s degree, there’s no need to list high school. If you have an MA or an MSc, list it alongside your bachelor’s.
If you have little experience, feel free to place the education section at the top, before the work history section. Here is how to format this section:
- Include your degree, field of study, and major
- University name and location
- Years attended
- GPA (only if 3.5 or higher)
- Awards and honors (if any)
For a super-detailed guide on how to list education on a resume (and a ton of examples and templates to copy), check out this article: Education Section on a Resume: How to Structure It for Greatest Impact .
Don’t disregard this section just because you think that work experience and education are more important. Listing your hard and soft skills on a resume can make you stand out, as they are a testament to why you’d be a great fit for a certain position.
Figure out what skills are needed for the position you are applying for and then include them in case you have them. You’ll want to list them in bullet points, as single items.
Obviously, don’t list skills you know you don’t have. Recruiters are trained to spot resume liars. They will find out.
For more info on why resume skills matter and what the best hard and soft skill combos are, check out Which Skills to Put on a Resume , no matter your job and industry.
6. Additional sections (optional)
This is a place for you to list all the things that can prove your worth and set you apart from the competition. Think awards, certificates, conferences, projects, publications, volunteer work (especially if you’re a recent grad!), languages, and hobbies. Spice it up!
Listing these is great because they show your personality and values, how you spend your free time , if you’re a lifelong learner, what skills you develop through your hobbies, and much more.
For more details on what to include in these sections, take a look at our How to Write a Resume article — it’s full of useful tips and examples.
Reverse chronological resume format: pros and cons
- ATS-friendly
- Recruiters are familiar with it
- It highlights the biggest successes in your career so far
- It’s easy to skim and pick up the key points quickly
- Employment gaps are noticeable immediately
- Not ideal for career changers
- If you don’t have a lot of experience, it might be hard to fill out
- It’s very common so it might be harder to stand out
Functional resume format
This type of resume format focuses on your skills rather than your experience. If you’re applying for a highly creative position and your portfolio is more important than your resume, you could pull the functional resume format off.
In all other cases, this is usually the worst option you can choose, as it’s not particularly liked by recruiters, it’s not ATS-friendly, it can conceal the most important information about you and your experience, and it might make you look like you’re trying to hide something.
However, we don’t do discrimination here at Big Interview, and that’s why we’re going to lay out all the functional resume format details for you. 😉
Here’s a functional resume example.
Sections to include using the functional resume format
The main principles remain the same as for the reverse chronological resume format, but there are slight twists.
Here’s what to include in a functional resume format:
Include the basics here: first and last name, phone number, location, email address, LinkedIn URL. You can also add (although it’s optional) the following: portfolio, blog, social media with content relevant to the position… (Remember that you shouldn’t add your headshot and date of birth.)
2. Resume summary or resume objective
In 2–4 sentences, include your role and years of experience, key accomplishments and skills, and how you can contribute to the company you’re applying to. In case you’re inexperienced, focus on your education, desired goal (how you can contribute), certifications, or (transferable) skills.
3. Skills summary
This is the most important section in the functional resume format! Think of this as the main things you’re bringing to the table, the key skills that are guaranteed to make you successful in the position and “sell you” to the recruiter.
Make sure to carefully pick out key hard and soft skills relevant to the position.
Above, you can see a bad example of the skills summary section in the functional resume format for the position of Product Designer. The candidate listed the skills without elaborating on each; in addition, the skills listed here are not specific enough and don’t provide the full picture of this person’s abilities.
Below, you’ll see a good example of the same section for the same position. The candidate picked out key hard and soft skills, elaborating on each. This way, a recruiter will be able to see that the candidate is experienced and suitable for the position.
4. Work experience
List your positions in reverse chronological order and format them in this order:
- Job title, company name, and location
- Main responsibilities (in bullet points; list crucial achievements, both qualitative and quantitative). If you don’t have relevant work experience, include volunteer work here, as well as internships.
5. Education
List your highest degree first. Then, go back in reverse chronological order. If you have a BA or a BSc, don’t list high school. If you have an MA or an MSc, list both your master’s and bachelor’s.
Here is how to format this section. Include your:
- Degree, field of study, and major
Functional resume format: pros and cons
- Good for highly creative candidates and positions, as well as freelancers
- Good for highlighting transferable skills
- Difficult to quickly scan
- Disliked by recruiters
As the name suggests, the combination resume format is a combination of reverse chronological and functional resume formats.
In theory, it’s awesome and tempting, because it highlights your experience and skills and validates them immediately.
But in practice, it’s really hard to pull off because it’s suitable only for highly experienced candidates.
Still, if you have a lot of experience and you’re fairly sure the company you’re applying to is not using an old-school ATS (this resume format is somewhat ATS-friendly but older types of software might not parse it properly), it might be a decent choice.
Take a look at the combination resume example below.
Sections to include with a combination resume format
This resume format includes 2 different skill-related sections. Here’s what to include and in which order:
Your name, email address, phone number, location, LinkedIn URL, and optionally other information such as a blog, portfolio, relevant social media, and similar. (Don’t add your photo and date of birth!)
2. Skills summary
Again, this is the key section using the combination resume format. List the crucial skills that have shaped you into the professional that you are today and that will help you nail your new job on a day-to-day basis. Don’t forget to include quantitative/qualitative proof of the great work you did with those skills, don’t just theorize about them without evidence to support it.
3. Additional skill sets
Here, you’re adding complementary skills. These can be additional, but less relevant hard skills important for the position, or complementary soft skills that will seal the deal and make you the perfect candidate.
You don’t need to be as detailed here as in the Skills summary section.
Keep it short and sweet, list your positions in reverse chronological order and format it like this:
- Main responsibilities (in bullet points and make sure you list key achievements, both qualitative and quantitative). If you don’t have relevant work experience, don’t opt for this resume format.
Same as with any other resume format. The highest degree of education you’ve completed at the top, followed by previous ones. If you have a bachelor’s, skip high school.
When formatting this section, include:
- Your degree, field of study, and major
Combination resume format: pros and cons
- Focuses on both experience and skills
- Good for highly experienced candidates
- Not convenient for the majority of candidates
- Difficult to write
How to choose the best resume format for you
Wondering which resume format might be the best for you? It’s simple.
Use the reverse chronological resume format if you’re:
- An experienced candidate with linear career progression and without employment gaps
- Mid-level professional
- Entry-level job seeker (in this case, rearrange Work Experience and Education sections)
Use the functional resume format if you’re:
- A creative worker (copywriter, designer, musician) or in any role where a portfolio matters more than a resume
- An ex-military professional transitioning to a civilian job
However, use the functional resume format at your own risk.
Finally, use the combination resume format if you’re:
- A highly experienced professional or a specialized candidate
- A career changer (with many years of experience nonetheless)
And now… let’s break down the remaining ambiguities of the phrase “resume format!”
The Basics of Resume Formatting
The resume layout, that is, your resume’s formatting, affects its appearance the most. You need to format your resume so that it’s easily scannable, clean, organized, and clutter-free. Here’s how.
For an elegant look that’s neither too empty nor too cluttered, set the margins to one inch on all sides . In case you need some extra space, there’s an option to reduce them slightly, but don’t go below ½ of an inch, otherwise your resume will look stuffy.
Fonts and font sizes
You’ll want modern and easily readable fonts such as Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Verdana, Calibri, or Roboto . Avoid Comic Sans, Courier New, and Lucinda Console.
Pair two different fonts (one for normal text, one for headers) to stand out: for example, one Serif font and one Sans Serif font to make your resume interesting and balanced.
Use bold and italics to highlight certain parts of your resume; you can bold the headings and italicize subheadings or previous job titles and dates in a company.
As for the font size, use 11–12pt for normal text and 14–16pt for headers and section titles.
Whatever option you choose, make sure to use it consistently throughout your resume.
Line spacing
Things are fairly simple here: use a single-spaced format up to 1.5-point spacing.
Header with contact information
This is the very first section at the top of your resume.
It contains your name, email address (make sure it’s a professional one, not the one you’ve been using since high school!), phone number, location, LinkedIn URL, and other relevant information such as a blog, portfolio, relevant social media, and similar.
What’s important to remember here is that, if you’re applying for a job at an American company, you should not add your date of birth and your photo to the header with contact information. There’s really no need for recruiters and hiring managers to know what you look like, as your experience and achievements will speak for themselves. The same goes for the UK and Ireland.
However, in South America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, adding a photo is desirable. In Western Europe, resume photos are acceptable but gradually going out of fashion.
Visually highlighted headers
The headers are the main pointers towards key things in your resume. You need to use them carefully to direct recruiters to the stuff you want to highlight.
Make them stand out by using a different font (one font for all the headings, one font for normal text) and font size ( 14–16pt ).
Many resume builders will let you choose between several different looks which style headers in various ways, so you can pick the one you like best.
The proper order of sections
A rule of thumb is to use the reverse chronological order format, which calls for this order of sections:
- Contact information
- Resume summary or resume objective
- Work experience
- Additional sections (optional): certifications, volunteer work, publications, etc.
If you don’t have relevant work experience, or you’re still a student or a recent graduate, you can put education information before work experience:
If you opt for a functional resume format , this is your order of sections:
- Skills summary
Finally, if you chose a combination resume format , it goes like this:
- Additional skills set
Bullet points
Use bullet points to list work experience and education. Don’t go above 7 bullet points per entry. Remember to focus on key achievements rather than day-to-day duties when listing work experience in bullet points.
How to format dates
When listing work experience, you can list only years when you were employed at a certain company. Alternatively, you can use months and years, but there’s no need to add days too.
When listing education, you can list years attended or only graduation year. If you wish to, you can add a month.
You can also add dates when you obtained certain certificates, completed projects, gave a lecture, and similar.
When adding months, make sure to spell them out and not use numbers (03 for March, for example). Using a number is not incorrect per se, but it might make it more difficult for ATS and recruiters to extract information.
Proper File Formats to Use for Saving Resumes
Here’s the final disambiguation of the phrase “resume format.”
Which file format should you use when saving your resume?
In short, it’s recommended to use a PDF file. It’s a safe bet, as your resume will look the same across all devices. Alternatively, you can use .docx , or another file format, if a recruiter requests it.
When saving your file, avoid random names such as “Resume_01.pdf” or “Resume_download_Mike”. Instead, list your name like this: “Mike-Davidson-Resume” or “Mike-Davidson-Operations-Manager-Resume.”
For bonus points, add the name of the company you’re applying to: “Mike-Davidson-Resume-Acme” will surely make the hiring manager feel that tiny bit more special.
FAQ: Additional Tips for a Flawlessly Formatted Resume
How long should my resume be.
Ideally, it should be a single page, especially if you have fewer than 5 years of experience and if you’re a recent graduate (or still a student).
If you’re experienced (5+ years), you can make it two pages long, but only if you feel it’s the only way to include what really matters.
The key thing to remember is that you can be detailed around positions that are relevant to the one you’re applying for; all others should not take up too much space and you can list only key things.
What’s the best file format to send my resume in?
As already mentioned, PDF. In rare cases when a recruiter asks you otherwise, you can use a .docx or .txt format, depending on what they want.
What about those super creative resume formats that go viral from time to time?
Yeah, we all remember that guy who styled his resume as a Google’s results page (he was applying to Google, you guessed it).
If you’re a highly creative person, like a graphic designer or a creative director, or similar, you might be tempted to showcase your design skills in your resume.
Still, it would be better to keep it simple. This is because you have ATS rounds to go through before a human eye looks at your resume. And even if you pass the ATS test, if your resume is too colorful it might be distracting or draw attention away from useful information.
So the best approach would be to keep it fairly simple and straightforward, and then include a link to your portfolio and showcase your genius there. 😉
What’s the best resume format in 2023?
The reverse chronological resume format is the best resume format to use in 2023. It’s the most ATS-friendly one, recruiters are familiar with it, and it’s candidate-friendly, as it lets you easily highlight your best achievements.
As a student, which resume format should I use?
Your best bet is the reverse chronological resume format with a slight twist: you can rearrange the work experience and education sections, placing education at the top, therefore highlighting your strongest points.

Best Resume Format 2024 (+free examples)
Reverse chronological format
Functional resume format, combination resume format, formatting a resume for a remote position, the best resume format for freelancers in 2024, how to highlight specialized knowledge on a resume, the best resume format for recent grads 2024, what is a resume format.
The phrase “resume format” is often a confusing one, since different sources use this term to refer to different/multiple things.
In the most basic sense, a resume format is the type of structure your resume has depending on the order in which resume sections are presented, how the employment history section is written, and which sections are given the most emphasis.
For example, in one type of resume format, the skills section may be overly emphasized, while in another, your work history will take center stage.
3 main types of resume formats
Luckily when it comes to choosing a resume format, your choices are already narrowed down to three main types:
- Reverse chronological
- Combination
Each one offers unique advantages and there are no best resume templates. You may even want to create a version of your resume in each format depending on the job title , the company, or even the country in which you are applying. An online resume builder can make it much easier to quickly switch around sections and go from one format to another without much fuss.
The old standard, the reverse chronological format has probably been around nearly as long as resumes. And it’s not without good reason. A chronological format is still the best way to showcase employment history , especially in traditional industries where climbing the corporate ladder is the most commonly accepted route. All the best resume templates will focus on this logical approach.
“Reverse” refers to the fact that this format begins with your most current (or most recent) place of employment and works backward until you’ve listed all your relevant experiences of the past ten years. While you don’t need to include everything you’ve done in that timeframe (for example, you’ll want to leave off your server experience on an architect resume ) you do want to pay attention to any gaps in employment history as the chronological format can quickly make them stand out to the hiring manager.
- Use a chronological format if your work experience is your key selling point.
- Pick a chronological format just because you think you have to even if it doesn’t match your experience.
For jobs where specialized skills count for more than employment history, the functional resume can be a lifesaver. This format allows you to highlight your expertise right from the top of your resume in a section often called “Experience.” Whereas a chronological resume format shows an employer what you’ve accomplished in the past, a functional resume format is more focused on the skills and specialized knowledge you can offer right now.
Since a functional resume format is more flexible than a chronological one, it’s a great choice for a variety of job situations. Skilled tradespeople, freelancers, gig workers, students , and even recent grads can all benefit from highlighting their strengths without having to categorically organize them under previous positions which may be too numerous or repetitive.
- Choose a functional format if your skills are the most important aspect of your job.
- Create a functional resume just because you lack work experience in a field that traditionally requires a chronological resume.
A combined format sometimes called a combination format, is exactly what it sounds like: the perfect fusion of the chronological and functional formats. The need for a combined resume format is often dictated by the candidate’s job search . For example, a freelancer looking to apply to a full-time position may want to begin the resume with top skills before following up with an Employment History section to show their ability to work in environments similar to the prospective employer’s.
Many professional resume writers will write in a combination style while still calling it reverse chronological. Highlighting your key skills at the top is a genuinely smart move for many roles. The work experience section isn't so far behind and you can normally still fit the two most recent roles on page one .
The advantage of the combined resume is that it allows the job seeker to first draw the hiring manager’s attention to their strengths , while also providing the employment history information that many traditional companies still expect. For candidates whose experience best fits a functional resume but aren’t sure how well it will be received, a combined resume is the right choice.
Here's a video that can help you choose between a combination or chronological resume format.
- Create a combined resume if you want to take an innovative approach, highlight key abilities or you are making a career transition.
- Confuse a hiring manager by burying or hiding certain sections that you know they will expect.
Best format for freshers
If you have recently graduated or you are due to graduate soon, you may be wondering about the best resume format for freshers . You may not have a lot of experience, so you will want to focus on your education and what you have learned through your studies.
With your qualifications, you should go into some detail about what you did and what modules you covered. This will give the hiring manager a better overall feel for who you are and what you know. The most valuable aspects of your coursework should be highlighted and pay attention to how these are transferable to the role. Keep your resume format for freshers clear and concise, there is no need for the graduate resume to be any more than one page.
Choosing the best resume format (top 5 tips)
Here are our top 5 tips for choosing a resume format and finishing it inside a resume builder :
- Choose a resume format that is aligned with the tone and branding of your prospective employer
- When in doubt, a simpler , more traditional template is a safer choice than a more eccentric one
- Your template should contain a healthy balance of white space to text so as not to overwhelm the reader with information
- Decide which resume sections are most important for your experience and choose a resume format that is designed to focus on those
- Don’t be afraid to move around the sections or try out a different format to see which version of your resume works best.
If you spent at least some portion of your career believing that there was only one correct way to format a resume, we’d understand. Most people are familiar with the reverse chronological resume format which dictates that you begin your resume with your most recent position and work backwards from there.
Although chronological may still be the most common format, that doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. Many candidates find that selecting a different resume format better allows them to highlight their diverse experiences and unique skills. It is one way of standing out, but only if it allows you to make your case in the most effective way.
Likewise, many forward-thinking hiring managers are no longer looking for cookie-cutter employees. They want applicants to showcase an entrepreneurial spirit and a willingness to adapt to the workplace of the future. While the chronological format may still work best for communicating previous positions, adding elements of a functional format to create a combined one can quickly set apart an innovative candidate.
In the chapters below, we’ll cover everything you need to know about selecting the perfect resume formats including:
- The three main types of resume formats and the differences between them
- Which format to pick in 2024 based on current trends in hiring
- Top tips for choosing a resume template to help you get started
Many hiring managers can spend less than 30 seconds reviewing a resume. Clean formatting without spelling or grammatical errors is one of the first things they take in, according to Mashable .

Which resume format should you use in 2024
Ultimately, no resume format is more correct than another. It all comes down to your experience, industry, and potential employer. When choosing a resume format for 2024, there are a few questions you can ask yourself to determine which resume format is right for you.
If you answer YES to any of the following questions, you may want to consider switching from a chronological format to a functional or combined one:
- Do I have a rare skill set I want the employer to notice right away?
- Am I switching to a different career or job function where I have no previous work experience?
- Have I learned a variety of important skills in only one or two positions?
- Will my prospective employer appreciate a fresh and direct approach to resume formatting?
While combined resumes will be on the rise in the coming years, that doesn’t mean a nontraditional format is for everyone. Here are some situations in which a chronological format is likely the best choice:
- Your knowledge from previous workplaces is more important than standalone skills
- You are applying to a large company which has a traditional structure
- Your competition likely has traditional career paths with impressive employers
- You have a sizeable amount of work history directly related to your prospective position
- You’ve worked at other companies comparable to your prospective employer
We also have made a chart to see which resume format is the best for you:
| Focused on employment history | An option for career starters | A combination of the functional and chronological formats | |
| Great for traditional corporate careers | Best for those with minimal work experience | Generally starts with an experience section followed by a shorter work history | |
| Most expected by hiring managers | Focused on skills and personality traits | A great choice for people in creative fields or freelancers |
How 2024 job trends influence resume formatting choices
It’s no surprise that in 2024 the way we work is changing – big time. And that affects everything from the methods of conducting your job search to formatting your resume. With more companies favoring remote teams, flexible hours, and specialized candidates, there is a lot to adapt to when it comes to finding a new position or even starting a career from scratch. Your resume should show that, at a time of change, you have what it takes.
In this chapter, we’ll discuss some of the major trends for work in 2024 and how you can adjust your resume formatting choices to increase your chances of landing your dream job . Here’s what’s ahead:
- Work from home: a blessing or a curse?
- Freelancers’ role in the market
- Specialized workers lead the way
- Breaking into the workforce in 2024
- How modern technology is shifting hiring practices
For many, remote work may be an entirely new experience but that doesn’t mean it’s going anywhere anytime soon. Companies have seen the advantages of working from home in increased productivity, employee morale and a reduction in overhead costs. According to NPR , many of America’s largest companies are planning to free their employees from the walls of the office for the foreseeable future.
According to researchers at MIT, more than half of the American workforce is currently working remotely. Good luck finding a new chair for the home office!
Which resume format you choose for a remote position largely depends on the type of work you do. There are many industries where the fact that you’re working from home won’t mean you should jump ship on a chronological resume. However, if there are other factors in play, for example, you are looking for part-time creative work while still holding another job, you may consider a combined resume format to paint a clearer picture of what you do. Just make sure to label remote positions as such so that a potential employer sees that you are comfortable in a digitally connected environment.
After having long struggled in a work world designed for traditional employees, in 2024 freelancers are finally ahead of the game. According to CNBC , the freelance market is booming, with more than one-third of Americans turning to freelance work this year and employers looking to hire them, especially in the fields of e-commerce, web, and mobile design.
So for freelancers looking to have their day in the sun, what’s the best resume format? It depends on your objectives. For freelancers looking to remain in their current situation, a functional resume might serve as a great way to show clients what they are capable of.
A combined resume can be a great choice if your skills are your selling point but you also have some impressive previous employers that can’t be missed. Finally, if you are transitioning to full-time work, a chronological resume may be the right choice.
According to McKinsey , specialization is the way of the future. Employees who can handle one task well are likely to fare better than generalists in the long run. Low-wage jobs will be replaced with employees who have superior knowledge of products and the market (think “super agents” instead of just call center workers.) Many people will need to learn new skills and focus on career development in order to have the best chances of future advancement.
So what do these changes mean for your resume formatting? For one, companies want to know what you can bring to the table. A combined resume format can help you highlight specialized knowledge without appearing like you don’t have much industry experience to show. If you complete any training or certifications this year, you may also want to format your resume to include an additional section to showcase them.
1 in 16 workers will need to change occupations by 2030, according to the McKinsey report . If a career switch is in the cards, your resume format may help give you a fighting chance against more established candidates. Consider a functional format if you have no experience in the new field and a combined format if you have 1-3 related positions to show.
Recent graduates are facing a tough moment to enter the job market as companies shrink the number of entry-level hires and interns they are willing to take on. However, it’s not all bad news. Although many companies have a temporary hiring freeze, they are expecting to reach pre-pandemic hiring levels by summer 2024, according to Forbes .
When it comes to the best resume format for recent grads in 2024, flexibility and skills are everything. That doesn’t mean you should jump straight to a functional resume format. Hiring managers are wary of grads who try to cover a lack of work experience by focusing only on skills. If you have some previous internship experience , it can be enough to create a chronological resume format or a combined one if that’s a better choice for your industry.
Great news for recent grads – it’s becoming easier to find a job with less experience. According to Forbes , more than 70 percent of roles today have fewer requirements than one year ago.
Formatting your resume to pass the ATS
Did you know that two-thirds of the resumes submitted for a single position never make it to the hiring manager’s desk? That’s because a human HR rep is no longer the first gatekeeper when it comes to making new hires. A large percentage of today’s workplaces are employing ATS – Applicant Tracking Systems – to help filter out candidates, saving the hiring manager a lot of time and energy.
The ATS algorithms scan resumes for keywords and rank them against the other applicants. Only a top selection moves on to be read by a human hiring manager. You may have all the right experience and skills but if you don’t format them correctly, there’s a big chance you’ll miss out on the opportunity for an interview.
When it comes to formatting your resume to pass the ATS , here’s what we recommend:
- Choose a format that is well-organized and easy for the ATS to scan
- Label your sections with standard headings like “Employment History” or “ Education ” instead of more creative names which may confuse the ATS
- Make sure your resume is free of spelling errors since the ATS won’t understand even obvious typos
- Download your resume in a format that’s easy for the ATS to read, Docx or PDF are two of the most common
- Avoid graphic elements or pictures containing important text since the ATS will not be able to isolate it
Key takeaways plus top 5 resume format tips
We hope this guide to resume formats has prepared you to make the best choice for your own experience and career goals in the ever-changing landscape of 2024. Here are our top 5 resume format tips to remember:
- The reverse chronological resume format remains the most common one and the best pick for traditional companies where work experience is the most important factor
- Functional resumes allow you to focus on specialized knowledge or skills but shouldn’t be used just to cover gaps in work history
- Combined formatting is increasing in popularity since it draws attention to specialization while still offering the employment history section most hiring managers expect
- In a tough economy, job seekers need to be in tune with the needs of their prospective employer and deliver the right type of resume format, even if it means innovating
- The ATS will be the first test of your resume format, so make sure you’ve optimized correctly
The easiest way to create a clean resume format – or to easily switch between two different types – is with a resume template. Resume templates allow you to be sure that your formatting is precise, attractive and optimized for the ATS, all without having to spend hours fighting with graphic design software.
