Answer 2

Explanation:

There are 2 main types of CV:

a chronological (or traditional) CV, and

a skills-based (or functional) CV.

Chronological CV

This type of CV lists your details, under appropriate headings, starting with the most recent.

This format of CV can suit best if you…

have experience and skills that closely relate to the job you're applying for

want to emphasise career progression

have had mainly continuous employment with no gaps.

If you want to use this format and have gaps in your work history, give an appropriate reason for them, such as bringing up a family.

If you've gaps in your CV because you’ve been in prison, take a look at our CVs for special scenarios guidance.

Skills-based or functional CV

This type of CV emphasises your skills and personal qualities rather than your employment history.

This format can suit best if you…

are changing career and want to show employers how transferable skills gained in other types of employment will be relevant for the post

have extensive gaps in your employment history, because they are not as prominent as they would be in a date-listed order in a chronological CV. Be prepared though to explain any gaps at interview

have had a series of short term paid or voluntary roles; this format enables you to group together related skills and achievements gained from these.
