Resume Samples:
The Chronological Format

Take a look at our resume samples to see how all of the advice we provide in How to Write a Resume comes together.

Remember, your resume will only get 15-20 seconds to make it into the "YES" pile on a busy recruiter or hiring manager's desk.

If you've follow our advice, your resume will start with a strong Summary Statement, followed by a review of your professional experience in reverse chronological order (your most recent position will be listed first). Make sure that you've included solid accomplishments that highlight your key skills and the depth of your experience.

See our Resume Action Verbs scattered throughout the Resume section of Top-Sales-Jobs for ideas.

Our samples highlight these principles. Study the resume examples below. If you have any questions on how to best present your own background, don't hesitate to get in touch. We'll be happy to help you put our resume advice into action!
