You can build a combination of a chronological and skills resume. In this document you can list what fits you best like: skills, talents, strengths, experience, and school accomplishments.

You start with:

  • Name, address, phone number, and email address.
  • Job objective
  • Skills
  • Experience
  • Education

In this resume, if there is no long history of education, start with skills and if there is vast education history, it can start with education history instead of skills. The combination resume should highlight whatever is the strongest asset by placing it first under the objective.
