What is a Chronological Resume?

The chronological resume is the most traditional type of resume. The employment section is arranged so that the most recently held position is listed first. The jobs then are listed in reverse chronological order, ending with the oldest position. Each position should include the name of the organization, city and state, job title, dates of employment. Following this information, job duties performed, skills used, and accomplishments made.
