Chronological Resume A chronological resumé itemizes a candidate's job
experiences in reverse chronological order The most common resumé layout in use In using this format, the main body of the document
becomes the Professional Experience section, starting from the most recent experience going chronologically backwards through a succession of previous experience
The chronological résumé works to build credibility through experience gained, while illustrating career growth over time
