Transcript

"The chronological resume is your traditional resume. What essentially it does is, by date highlights all the work experience that you has. One of the things I do not care if it is a functional resume or chronological resume, as much as possible, you want to ensure that you are only listing work experience, skills that are relevant to the job that you are applying for. It is important to highlight the things, that you have done that have created results. Use action oriented words, ensure that you are talking about the results that you were able to create in that particular job. So, it is not just highlight of the day to day task that you did each and every day, this is about the results that you created and that is how you write a chronological resume. "
