How to Format a HR Assistant Resume
Being an HR professional requires a remarkable resume. One of the most effective ways to make your resume stand out is to choose the right resume format.
Each type of format leads recruiters straight to your biggest strengths. For instance, if you are experienced, the chronological resume format puts the spotlight on your work history first.
For those starting their career paths, a functional resume format will shift the employer’s attention straight to your skills and volunteer work.
Let’s take a look at two job candidates. The first candidate uses the chronological resume to show 15 years of work history, while the second candidate only has four months of experience in an internship and can benefit best from a functional resume.
