What Are the Types of CV Formats?

There are many different types of CV format & layout available. The most common ones are chronological, functional, and combination CV format. Apart from these, there are also international CV format, formal CV format, modern CV format, etc.

Chronological CV format :

It is the most frequently used CV format. In a chronological CV format, everything is listed in reverse chronological order, meaning the latest experiences & accomplishments first.

Functional CV format :

It is a skill-based CV format that focuses on emphasizing the skills of the applicant. In a functional CV format, qualifications and accomplishments would be the highlight instead of employment period or work history.

Hybrid/Combination CV format :

It is the hybrid version of chronological and functional CV formats. A hybrid CV format highlights relevant skills while documenting work history. It lists skills and experience first, while employment history would be listed in reverse chronological order.

Targeted CV format :

It is featured as a highly customized CV, especially for a specific company or job. Compared to making a generic CV, building a targeted one takes more effort on tailoring it to make you the BEST fit for a particular opening. In spite of the extra time and effort it takes, you can always expect a better result from it.

What Is the Best Format for a CV?

Since CV can be utilized in many different scenarios, it is not practical to say which CV format is the best.

For instance, the functional CV format can be favorable for people who are with gaps in their work histories and trying to return to the workplace (e.g. stay-at-home moms, people who took a work hiatus to go back to school, and etc.). The format focuses on the applicant’s accomplishments and qualifications, which takes employers' attention away from the employment gaps. However, a functional CV format is not recommended for general job seekers.

Besides, CV formats can be combined and made the most of. For example, experience or items on CV can always be listed in reverse chronological order, that’s why chronological CV format is the most common CV format.

On the whole, if you are making a career change, and you have already had an eye on few particular job openings, the targeted CV format is highly recommended to you. If you are a fresh graduate currently entering the workforce, perplexed about your career, and urgent to find a job, it is suggested to adopt the hybrid CV format. It can properly highlight your value as well as be sent out to a number of companies.
