Chronological CV
The chronological CV is named thus as it details your career history most commonly in reverse chronological order with the most recent employment detailed first and working backwards. A complete record of career history is detailed along with a complete education record. It is the most frequently used CV and is usually 2 sides of A4 in length.
Job Titles and company names are emphasized with skills, duties and achievements detailed under each job title. A chronological CV is most useful if you are staying within the same industry and wish to show career progression
Most employers prefer the chronological CV format, as it is easy to see who you have worked for and what you did in each particular job. If you do not have many achievements, you can take the emphasis off this fact when using a Chronological CV.
Reasons why a chronological CV may not be the best format include:
· If you are changing direction and the most recent employer is not relevant to your new chosen career.
· If your career history shows gaps in your employment due to poor health, unemployment, having children, etc. or that you have changed jobs frequently.
Targeted CV. This kind of CV is a way to focus your career towards a particular objective, within a specific industry or a specific company.
A targeted CV is written in a way that highlights skills, qualifications and experience that match the requirements of the advertised position. Writing a targeted CV is effective when:
You need to compose different CVs each corresponding to a different career objective.
Functional CV. The Functional CV is usually two pages in length and covers your entire career history. Unlike the most common chronological CV it focuses, not on your career history, but on your skills, abilities and expertise. It may not even refer to a specific industry, as the skills detailed are deemed transferable.
It is important that the skills you detail are relevant to the position you are applying for. It is no use highlighting your great accounting experience if the position is in sales. You should highlight your achievements in a sales environment and focus on relevant aspects of that field of work.
A Functional CV format is useful if:
· You lack experience or have gaps in your work history; these can be de-emphasized in a functional CV while your skills and potential are highlighted.
· You have changed jobs frequently and have had a variety of unrelated work experiences.
· You want to promote skills and experience obtained through college or volunteer experience.
· You are changing careers or re-entering the job market, perhaps after taking a career break to be a full time parent.
· Your most recent work experience is not relevant to the job, but past experience is.
· You have been working freelance or in temporary employment.
A functional CV format is less useful if:
