Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A chronological résumé, which lists work experience in reverse chronological order, would be least preferred in this scenario because it emphasizes work history over skills and education. Given that the applicant's work experience consists of seasonal minimum wage jobs, a format that highlights education and directly relevant skills and interests (like a functional or chrono-functional résumé) would be more effective in showcasing the applicant's strengths for the internship.
