Answer 1

He must use the chronological resume. This is the format recruiters and employers like most. It is especially good for job seekers who wish to stay in the same line of work and at the same level of employment. It starts by listing your work history, with the most recent positions listed first. It is considered one of the most common resume structures. Employers typically prefer this type of resume because it's easy to see what jobs you have held and when you have worked at them.

In this kind of resume your jobs are listed in reverse chronological order with your present, or most recent job, first. It often includes a resume objective or career summary before a list of previous work experience. Education, certifications, and special skills are also contained within this type of resume. These are listed after your work experience.
