Resume format, as others know it, does not refoer to the look or the design of a resume but on how you emphasize or showcase your information on it.

Basically, formats come in three different styles:
- The Reverse Chronological lists all education and employment, starting with the most recent and working backward.
- The Skills-based functional emphasizes your skills, expertise, and what you can do instead of showing what you have done and what company you've done it.
- The hybrid or combination is a marriage of the Reverse Chronological and Skill-based Functional.

These basic styles have spawned a variety of other formats known as:

- Professional

- Academic Curriculum Vitae

- International Curriculum Vitae
