1. Identify the type of resume you are preparing
A resume is a very important document for every employee. A good resume help finds a good
job. It is possible to create different types of resumes. Would you like to get an excellent job?!
Yes, sure! But, many steps must be made. I am going to use a chronological type of resume
(Episcopo, 2019).
2. Describe the reasoning for choosing this type of format for your resume.
A great advantage of chronological resumes is the ability of an employer to trace the exact dates
of a candidate's places of employment. Another advantage is to see the logical development of
one's career development (Dalgleish, 2018). The main disadvantage of this type of resume is a
lacking of a candidate's experience. If a person does not have experience related directly to
his/her knowledge, is another efficient drawback.
3. Prepare and submit the resume to be sent to a future employer. You should attempt
to prepare a resume for a future position that you aspire to obtain.
