Columns

This format uses a sidebar(s) to present information. It’s a popular style that many people use these days.
The main features include the following:

  • Sidebars or 2 two or even three columns with top skills and essential information at the side(s)
  • One or more pages (you can add other relevant sections)

When unsure what style to use, the gold standard is the traditional classic Reverse Chronological resume format.

You list the work experience beginning with the current and most recent roles.

You can also call it a competency-based format. It focuses on your competencies or skills. This can be work-based or behavior-based.

So, showcase transferable skills (with short notes) that fit the role applied for. You can use it in cases like career shifts or employment gaps.

This format consists of a balance between skills and work progression. The main features include 

  • Critical skills that come first, followed by the work experience section
  • Then you add some other relevant sections

If you want your resume to reach hiring managers, it must show minimum skills relevant to the job description. 

Therefore, you should add relevant technical or hard skills after the summary, followed by other relevant sections.

This one is for candidates applying for managerial or middle-manager positions. To present your Unique Value Proposition (UVP), standard formats may not fit you. 

Therefore, you can seek a different approach, incorporating visuals (graphics, diagrams, charts, etc. Other relevant sections follow this.
