This document summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of chronological and functional resume formats. A chronological resume clearly lists prior job titles, employers, and career progression but also clearly shows any gaps or frequent job changes. A functional resume highlights skills that may be difficult to see otherwise and can make sense of irregular careers, though some employers find it difficult to interpret and prefer details about past roles and employers.
