Resume Template 5
Resume Template 5 is in a chronological format and scannable.
A chronological resume format lists work history in reverse chronological
order.
That's why it's also called a reverse chronological resume format.
See Resume Formats for
more information.
You may download this chronological resume template for free and
modify it for personal use. It's an RTF file, which is compatible
with most word processors (such as Microsoft® Word) and safe
to download.
But first, please read the Important notice below.
It includes the download link.
This chronological resume template has the headings listed above
the sections. If you'd prefer one that has the headings listed
to the left of the sections, see Resume
Template 1. Refer to Resume
Templates for more formats and styles you may download.
The resume template format (line spacing, margins, fonts, etc.)
displayed below is a little different from the download version.
That's because Web browsers and word processors display pages in
different ways. The download version is better formatted.
If you copy and paste this resume template from your screen instead
of downloading it, the format might not stay intact. That's because
copying picks up background Web-page formatting that might not
be understood by the software application into which you paste
it.

OBJECTIVE
[Professional resume writers often omit this resume
template section in modern resumes, even though it's
tradition to include it. Whether or not to include
it is up to you, but first read the Profile section
below. For general resume submissions (e.g., via job
banks or recruiters), describe your career goal in
one to three brief sentences. When submitting your
chronological resume to apply for specific job openings,
tailor your objective (and your entire chronological
resume) to closely match each job description without
embellishing. Delete this section from the resume template
if you don't use it.]
PROFILE
[Although this section makes this resume template
more like a combination resume format than a traditional
chronological version, professional resume writers
often include it in modern chronological resumes in
place of an Objective section. That's because it generally
lets employers know what you can do for them, which
is better than implying right up front what they can
do for you. (Interviewers will likely ask about your
career goal, whether or not it's in your resume.) To
use this section, summarize your background in a few
sentences, and then list specifics under each job in
your Experience section. Use action
words and industry-standard keywords.
Rename this section as appropriate; for example, Summary,
Background or Qualifications. Delete it if you don't
use it.]

description requirements as closely as possible without
embellishing.]

industry-standard keywords.]

[Optional brief description]
- [List significant awards, accomplishments or curricular
activities, or your minor, work completed toward
advanced degree, etc.]
- [If education is your most important career asset,
move it above Experience; for example, if you're
fresh out of school with little career work experience.]
-
[EXTRA]
[Optional extra section for what you think is important
to emphasize; for example, special skills, relevant
military duty, awards or membership in career-related
professional organizations. (Personal hobbies and interests
are no longer included in U.S. resumes, because they
have too-often given the wrong impression.) If this
section is more important than another, move it up
in your resume. Delete this section from the resume
template if you don't use it.]
REFERENCES
References available on request. [This resume template
section is often omitted in modern resumes, because
employers now assume that applicants will provide references
if asked. If you want to keep it anyway, simply delete
this bracketed text. If you need the space, delete
this section.] |
