Chronological is the most commonly used, traditional resume format. It is straightforward, and easily traces a candidate's career path and progression in a given field. Employment History is listed along with the respective experience and accomplishments in reversed chronological order, with the most recent job positioned at the top of the resume. Because it leaves little to the imagination, and makes it difficult to hide employment gaps, the chronological résumé is the most preferred format of employers and recruiters.
