How to Format an Accountant Assistant Resume
You can write your accounting resume in one of three resume formats; chronological, hybrid or functional.
Use the first two options if you have over three years of experience. The hybrid resume is an excellent choice if you have between three to nine years of experience because it lends equal space to your skills and work history sections. Candidate A uses the chronological resume because this format features the longest and most detailed work history. This format allows them to describe promotions and the gradual development of their skills.
If you have less than three years of experience, a timeline-based approach will highlight your relative lack of experience. A skills-based approach like the functional resume helps you demonstrate various technical skills and expertise. Candidate B recently graduated college and only has a one-year internship to place on their resume. They use the functional resume to craft detailed sections related to accounting and account management skills to highlight their knowledge and qualifications.
