Understand Resume Format – Hybrid Resume

Sunday, June 14, 2009 13:29

hybridIn Wikipedia; the meaning of hybrid is the combination of two or more different things, aimed at achieving a particular objective or goal. The word hybrid is famously used for cars with dual power source; petrol and electricity. Similarly to resume, when the features of chronological & functional resume are combined, it is called a hybrid resume.

In my opinion, this is the best resume format available for those with working experience and I would highly recommend this format for your “masterpiece” resume. Even for myself, I’m also using this format which I’m sharing as a sample for you to download HERE. A combination or a hybrid of chronological & functional resume elements will emphasize your career history together with its accomplishments and also your skills and expertise. This format also creates the flexibility to market your career when you do not have a specific job field to focus on.

A hybrid resume consists of the combination of components from chronological & functional resume as following:

  • Contact information (mailing address, contact # & e-mail)
  • Career objective
  • Professional summary
  • Chronological employment history (avoid dates if your employment history is lack of stability)
  • Education history
  • Special achievements/rewards

Hybrid resume is a powerful marketing tool for you to secure an interview especially if you have a decent working experience. Make good use of it to your upmost advantage.
