Chronological Resume
It lists work history - job by job -- starting with the most recent one. Such format quickly reveals a candidate's work and promotion record. It works well with candidates who have experience in that particular field and for those who have a steady career growth.

Functional Resume
The Functional Resume focuses on a candidate's skills. The resume classifies skills and accomplishment in special categories.

Combination Resume
It emphasizes a candidate's capabilities while also including a complete job history. For fresh graduates, this type of resume is a good choice because it enables them to profile what they can do for a prospective employer.
