How to Format an Inventory Clerk Resume
Choosing the correct format for an inventory clerk resume is an integral part of the job search. The good news is, for most job seekers, the answer is obvious: the chronological resume format. This classic format is a favorite of recruiters and job seekers alike because it makes a candidate’s work history easy to grasp. The bulk of the page in this format is devoted to a list of the applicant’s previous jobs beginning with their most recent one.
Other job seekers may prefer an alternative format, like the functional or combination resumes. The functional resume, also known as skills-based, puts skills and qualifications in the foreground, downplaying a candidate’s work history. This is an excellent choice for someone who lacks work experience. The combination resume is excellent in that it splits the difference between the other two formats, giving equal weight to skills and experience.
Let’s see how the candidates below differ in their approach. Candidate A chose the chronological resume because his work history is consistent and impressive. Candidate B, who possesses many of the same skills, opted for a functional resume because he only has one year of professional work under his belt. Review the examples to see how the approaches differ. Similarities are in bold.
