The chronological resume arranges the activities in a proper time sequence. Include the company name in the "bullet" describing each accomplishment. NEVER omit at least a bare-bones chronological listing of your work experience, in your functional resume. Ensure that your resume meets the following accepted norms:
Length: The resume length should be between one to two pages.
Be consistent: Choose a pattern of spacing, an order of information presentation or a format of highlighting and be consistent throughout.
Present information in reverse chronological order within categories. List education and work experiences starting with the most recent first. Best to separate education
UNLESS the hobby/ activity / Memberships of associations is somehow relevant to your job objective OR it clearly reveals a characteristic that supports your job objective, do not mention it.
Visual Appeal: Choose high quality paper in white, off-white or other conservative colors. Fonts like Times Roman and Arial are easy to read. The font size should be between 11-13. Use highlighting sparingly, so that the impact is not lost. The Margin should be about one inch each on all sides.
Check for grammar. Misspellings communicate negative impressions about a candidate.
