A resume is a self-marketing tool used to get a job. There are two main types of resume formats: functional and chronological. Both provide basic information like name, address, phone number, career objective, education, and experience, but they present it differently. A functional resume highlights skills relevant to the job objective, while a chronological resume lists experience and employment history in reverse chronological order.
