Chronological Format (Most Common)

Lists experience in reverse chronological order. ATS-friendly by default. Best for candidates with consistent work history.

Functional Format (Skills-First)

Leads with skills summary. ATS risk: 20–40% lower scores. Use only for career changers and candidates with significant employment gaps.
