Hey! I think you should avoid putting your expected salary on your resume. Usually it's the kind of topic you talk about during a job interview, and not before. And I would advise you to wait that the recruiter brings the subject up, otherwise you will seem like the kind of person only looking for a salary and not a job.

Before you even begin to start creating your resume, have an idea of what sort of information you would like to put in. The type of information you want to include will help you decide on the most suitable resume format to work with.

Here are the three most common types of resumes you can choose from, and how to know which format suits you best.


1. Chronological resume

This resume focuses on your previous work experiences, listed in reverse chronological order, which means you start your list from your most recent job and move backwards. The details of this list should include the full name of the company you worked in, the dates of employment, your job position and a brief description of the responsibilities you handled.

This resume format works best for people with a significant amount of years in the work force because it emphasizes your work history and your career development in a particular industry.


2. Functional resume

This resume type showcases your skills and achievements which indicates your suitability to the job vacancy you are applying for.

Students and graduates looking for a job or internship use this resume format a lot as they may not have had a lot of job opportunities.

If you don’t have much prior work experience, place emphasis on your education, the activities or associations you were involved in and what skills you gained from them that can be applied to the job you are applying for.


3. Chrono-functional resume

As its’ name indicates, this resume format merges the elements of both chronological and functional resumes. It places fairly equal attention on both your work experiences and skills. A combination resume will have a section describing your skills and related qualifications, followed by your employment history, or vice versa.

This works best for candidates who have undergone an industry change. You will be able to highlight the skills and strengths you gained from your different work experiences and how these will help you fit the job.
