RESUMES: Sample Resume Formats: Combo Platter

Resume templates should die.

Sometimes, however, it helps to see different resume formats.  That's why, over the course of the next few Mondays, The Daily Machete will bring you different resume formats as supplements to our normal posts.  While today's resume is a format, in the Mondays to follow we'll look at occupation-specific resume formats to follow.

Today, we'll introduce a version of the combination resume - it's kind of a chronological resume and kind of a functional.  There are variants to this resume format you can try, but this tends to be a good starting place.
