Does a resume require a
format?
Yes, the format of your resume is as important as the
information you put in it. Recruiters only have time to
skim your resume, so your goal is to put the most
important information about yourself in places that are
easily seen. Different resume formats highlight different
aspects of your professional skills and
accomplishments.
So, choosing the correct format, based on your
professional history can make a big impact on
recruiters very quickly.
