Posted by Mount Gambier Resume on 8 Jan 2025

What is the best resume format? There are a variety of options, and it is dependent on your job position and your experience in deciding which one to pick. The most common to choose from are: Reverse-Chronological, Functional, Combination.

Your resume is an essential instrument for job searching and you must ensure that it’s clear and well-formatted. In Mount Gambier Resume, we specialize in resume writing services to make you stand out from the crowd. In this article, we will discuss the various types of resumes and provide strategies to pick the most appropriate one for your needs.

  1. Reverse-Chronological: This format is the most common and is the best for those with a solid work history. It lists your work experience in reverse-chronological order, with your most recent job at the top.
  2. Functional Format: This is the best for people who have diverse or non-linear work experience. It is focused on your talents and accomplishments, rather than your past work history.
  3. Combination: This format combines elements of the reverse-chronological and functional formats. It highlights your skills and accomplishments, while also listing your work history in reverse-chronological order.
  4. You can tailor it to the position Your resume should be tailored to the specific job you’re applying for. Make sure you choose a format that highlights your skills and experiences that will be most useful for the job.
  5. Get help from a professional: If you’re struggling to choose the right format, or require assistance making it work for your job seek out professional assistance by contacting Mount Gambier Resume.

Each of the above formats has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Tailor your resume format to the particular job you’re applying for , and take professional advice if you require it.

I wanted to apply for a last minute job and these guys were so helpful to prioritising my application needs. The results provided were outstanding and achieved a level well above my expectations and what I was capable of writing myself. Quite possibly one of the best investments I have made in my professional career development. I highy recommend their services.
Robert Staff
I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at Mount Gambier resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
Blake Karafilis
Amazing fast and professional service. Highly recommended.
Timothy Berg
I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago. After feeling stagnated in my job, I started to look at my resume again and attempted to update it. After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume. Tanja was great, very prompt at replying to any queries I had and returned an updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile within 3 business days. I must say the documents look great. Highly recommended.

A wonderful team they have there at Mount Gambier resume - especially Tanya and Jaime. Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews. I highly recommend not only their resume writing services but also the interview coaching - especially for those who have been out of the workforce for a long time, it’ll definitely help one to be more confident and prepared for their next interview.
Meow Chan
Very professional, easy to deal with and great communication. Highly recommended.
Brian Horsfield
First time using a resume writer, and so happy with the finished resume. I was also so impressed with the prompt responses throughout the whole process from Tanya and in general the quick turnaround time to produce it. I love the fact the resume represented who I am based on my skills and attributes. I definitely recommend Mount Gambier Resume to anyone who hasn't used a resume writer before. They are also so affordable compared to so many on the market who charge an absolute fortune.
