In modern resumes, information about skills and experience can be listed using three distinct formats:

1. Reverse chronological
2. Functional
3. A combination of the two

Functional
Functional formats stress what skills you have, rather than where and when you used them. These formats are best for students who have just graduated from college and have little “real-world” experience, those who have been out of the workforce for long periods because they were raising children, and job seekers who are transitioning from one career or industry to another. However, sometimes combining a functional format with a reverse chronological format makes the most sense. These are called combination resumes.

The sites describes each of the 3 types and gives samples of them as well. Good luck!
