Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chronological résumé lists a candidate's work experience in reverse chronological order, beginning with the most recent experience first. This format is best suited for applicants who have a consistent career history with no significant gaps and who have progressed up a clearly defined career ladder in a single field. However, for applicants who are seeking jobs different from the job currently held, or who have gaps in their employment history, a functional or combination résumé format may be more effective.
