Combination Resume Format

1. Contact Information

  • Place your full name at the top of the page, formatted in a larger font size to stand out.

  • Include your phone number, email address, and LinkedIn profile link (optional but recommended).

  • Avoid using nicknames or unprofessional email addresses.

2. Professional Summary

  • Write a concise 2–3 sentence summary highlighting your most relevant skills, experiences, and career goals.

  • Focus on what makes you an ideal candidate for the specific role you are targeting.

  • Example starting phrases: "Experienced professional with expertise in..." or "Results-driven [job title] specializing in...".

3. Key Skills

  • Use bullet points or a categorized list to showcase your most relevant skills.

  • Include both technical and soft skills (e.g., software proficiency, leadership, communication).

  • Tailor this section to the job description to align with the employer’s needs.

4. Professional Experience (Reverse Chronological Order)

  • Job Title – Company Name (City, State)
    Dates of Employment (Month/Year – Month/Year)

    • Start each bullet point with a strong action verb (e.g., “Led,” “Implemented,” “Developed”).

    • Highlight accomplishments using measurable results when possible (e.g., "Increased sales by 15% over six months").

    • Focus on achievements rather than listing responsibilities.

Repeat this structure for each position. Include only roles relevant to the job you're applying for.

5. Education

  • Degree/Certification – Institution Name (City, State)
    Graduation Year or Years Attended

    • Include relevant coursework or academic honors if applicable.

    • Mention certifications or training programs that directly relate to the job.

6. Additional Sections (Optional)

  • Certifications: Include any certifications relevant to the position. List the name, issuing organization, and date obtained.

  • Volunteer Experience: If applicable, format this similarly to professional experience, focusing on accomplishments.

  • Projects: Highlight major projects that demonstrate your expertise, particularly if you're transitioning careers.
