Sample of Combination Resume

Combination Resume

One particular type of functional resume is the combination resume, since it allows you to focus on skills while also providing a full work history. This is useful because most employers do like to see your complete employment record. If you adopt this format, you’ll be well-placed to answer any questions which may arise about career changes, working gaps, or similar issue which can cause potential employers to question your suitability.

The combination resume begins with your experience, skills and achievements, and is rather similar to the functional resume, before going on to list your full employment record chronologically, just as the chronological resume would. In this way, you open by highlighting your key attributes, and then give the employer the employment history they like to see. This style has the advantage of immediately grabbing the employer’s attention by showing them that you meet their requirements, before backing up your claims with evidence of your work experience.

An example of a combination resume is shown below.
