reverse chronological vs functional resume format

إجابة مختصرة

Reverse-chronological — most recent role first — is what recruiters and ATS expect, and it's the right default for anyone with a steady, relevant history. A functional format leads with skills and downplays dates, which can help career-changers or those with large gaps, but recruiters often distrust it. A hybrid opens with a short skills summary, then a chronological history — a safe middle ground.

CV Desk helps you apply this on your iPhone: it keeps the layout ATS-readable, exports a clean PDF with no watermark, and lets you tailor each version to the job. Always adapt to the specific role and country.
