resume

is a summary of your career, whether it is just getting started or has been going on for years

Chronological resume

By far, the most common (and safest, if you’re unsure which route to take) option is this—sometimes called the reverse chronological resume. This means you organize your experiences from most recent to least recent.

Functional or skills-based resume

are used pretty rarely, mainly with career changers and people with limited or complicated work histories. It gets this name because it’s primarily about listing your skills rather than experiences, and showcasing them above your work history and education.

Combination resume

is a mix between a reverse chronological resume and a skills-based resume. It highlights your skills at the top, but allows just as much room below to cover your work and school experience.

Work values Ethical values Cultural values

Of course, your values can be vast and varied, but they often fall into three main buckets:

Work values

align most with your personal beliefs and desires, shaping how you approach your role and what you seek in a career.

Ethical values

act as the bridge between personal beliefs and organisational culture, that your moral compass aligns seamlessly with the company’s ethos.

Company culture

refers to the shared beliefs, values, and practices that define a company's essence, reflecting its broader mission and the principles it stands for.
