There are generally three different types of resumes, these include:

Chronological
You should use this resume when you have experience in the same field you are applying for.  The focus is on your work experience over a period of time.  This style of resume starts with your most recent job and works backwards. The same applies to education and other related categories.

Functional
This resume focuses on your skills and abilities and is organized by functions, skills or duties.  It does not refer to jobs or education chronologically.  Functional resumes can help when you are making a career change or if you have employment gaps. They highlight how you fit what the employer is looking for.

Combination
Combination resumes merge the chronological and functional styles together.  It usually starts off with a description of your skills and strengths. Usually this is followed up with details about your work experience and education in chronological order.
