Accounting Resume
There are some professions in which only a chronological resume should
be used when applying for a job. The accounting profession is just such
an instance.
An accounting resume should only use the chronological resume format.
This format allows the
job seeker to focus on
education and experience, both of which are important in the accounting
field.
The other most common resume format, the functional resume format does
have advantages as well; however it should only be used in certain
circumstances:·
- When changing careers
- When you have frequent periods of unemployment
- When you change jobs frequently
The sample
accounting resume below demonstrates the best advantages of
the chronological resume format.
