How to Format Your Resume

We typically recommend the hybrid resume format because it combines the strenghts of a skills-based format like the functional resume and the experience focus of the chronological resume, making it the most forgiving of the three resume formats. A hybrid resume uses five recognized sections — contact info, professional summary, skills, work history and education. 

Unlike the traditional resume layout, this format flips the switch by immediately placing a short list of skills over your work history. This lets hiring managers see a quick summary of your qualifications, followed immediately by your previous employment history and quantifiable achievements.

  • Contact Information:

    • The top portion of your resume includes the most important information — how hiring managers will contact you. Add your full name, cell phone number, and a dedicated email address with a professional handle.
  • Professional Summary:

    • The section is your first personal and professional introduction. The two or three skills or accomplishments you feature here lays the foundation for your following qualifications. Write either a resume objective or a resume summary.
  • Skills:

    • This is your shortest section. Choose six-eight soft, hard and technical skills that match the open job description.
  • Work History:

    • This detailed section breaks your previous employment from your most recent position to your first. Add your job title, employer name, dates and city of employment and three-to-four bulleted descriptions of your responsibilities or accomplishments.
  • Education:

    • This final section of your resume includes academics, certifications and qualifications to help support your formal work experience.

Although the hybrid resume format works well for most job seekers, it works best for people with more than three years of experience. If you have less than three years of experience, consider using a functional resume or skills-based resume. This customizable resume focuses on transferable skills, so it's also a strong option for people changing careers or re-entering the workforce.

Try the chronological resume if you have more than 10 years of experience. This is the most well-known resume and dedicates the most space for your work history section.

Resume Example FAQ

What is a resume example?

A resume example is a helpful job-seeking resource that frames a professional's skills, experience and accomplishments. You can use these resources to study successful job applications and learn what most hiring managers seek in their applicants.

Our resume samples come in two shapes — full-page resumes and text templates for a job title's work section. Both versions are carefully researched and written by certified resume writers to reflect typical job duties and abbreviations.

We carefully craft our full-page sample resumes based on the three resume formats to teach you what hiring managers look for. This includes well-spaced paragraphs, consistent margins and detailed resume sections.

We also create multiple work history sections to showcase the wide range of expertise and professional experience that workers earn throughout their careers. These examples from first-year employees and seasoned staff members will help you with each new job search and promotion.

Why should I use resume examples?

You should use resume examples to understand your desired job and learn which qualifications are most appealing to hiring managers. Think of each job application as a test.

You should check out how to write a good resume and practice writing drafts to familiarize yourself with what experience and accomplishments you want to share with hiring managers. Using resume examples is like bringing a study guide to an open-book test — you can see how similar job seekers describe their experience, study how they frame their accomplishments, and pick up on common industry jargon.

Refer to our industry and specific job examples to see what skills, accomplishments and experiences your fellow job seekers share with hiring managers to learn what information you wish to share.

How do I adjust these resume examples to my needs?

These resume examples reflect the responsibilities and achievements of other job seekers. Adapt the elements you like from a resume example, whether the design, the way it's organized, specific phrasing or an approach to the summary statement.

A good resume example will guide you as you create your document. But be careful you don't copy entire sections word for word –– your experience needs to be yours alone.

Are these the best resume examples for 2023?

A 2023 resume should do what all resumes did before: Make a case for why you are the best candidate for the job. We curated a list of our top resume templates and helpful template styles, such as traditional, creative, modern, basic, professional and ATS-friendly resume templates.

Our vast library holds the best 2023 resume samples because we carefully study and revise our pages regularly. Our writers are fully trained in resume writing and have spent years advising and mentoring fellow job seekers.

You can gauge our level of knowledge by visiting our About Us page or studying our helpful resume writing guide, resume format guide or cover letter articles.

What should I include in my resume?

Almost all resumes have the same five sections:

  1. Contact information

  2. A summary statement or objective statement

  3. Skills

  4. Work experience

  5. Education

Some job seekers can add optional sections, such as awards and honors, certifications or hobbies. We recommend against these sections if they extend your resume past two pages unless they're highly relevant to your career.

For example, an elementary school teacher interested in arts & crafts or singing could add this to their resume if they apply to a kindergarten opening.

The best way to figure out what to include in your resume is to read the job advertisement carefully. The keywords and phrases in the job posting are your best indicators of what a hiring manager wants to see in a potential candidate. Look for hints like unique font treatments, i.e., highlighted or bolded terms, repeated phrases or slightly rephrased requests.

It's crucial to ensure everything you include in your resume is relevant to the job you're applying for. Remove it if it doesn't help explain why you'd be good at your desired job!
