How to Format a Service Desk Technician Resume
You can use one of three formats for your service desk technician resume – the chronological, hybrid or functional resume formats. We recommend the chronological or hybrid formats if you have over three years of steady, relevant IT experience. These formats use highly recognizable and detailed work history sections to describe previous jobs and their related responsibilities. As you can see, Candidate A uses the hybrid format to highlight their eight years of experience and the steady growth of their remote and in-person experience.
However, Candidate B is a relative newcomer to the professional world. They have two years of experience from their practical IT training classes and a six-month apprenticeship. These short bursts of experience might make them seem like a risky hiring choice, so they use the functional resume to prioritize their practical IT support computer service skills over a lack of long work experience.
