The different types of resumes can be classified into the following supports:
1. Chronological summary
2. Functional Summary
3. Combination Summary
4. Targeted resume
5. Mini summary
6. Resume with profile
7. Infographic Summary
8. LinkedIn Resume
9. Social Summary
10. Video CV
11. Online Resume

Chronological summary

2. List your work history and most recent position.
3. Your jobs are listed in reverse chronological order with your current or most recent job first.

infographic summary
1. An infographic resume uses visual elements including images, photos, graphs, charts, and other graphics to provide information about a job applicant.
2. Infographics can be shared with connections and potential employers and pinned on Pinterest.
3. They are like traditional resumes in that they convey similar information, such as contact information, previous work experience, and related skills.
4. However, infographic resumes convey this information in a very visual format; For example, instead of listing previous work experience in chronological order, an infographic resume can display this information on an illustrated timeline.
5. An infographic’s unique combination of text and images can help job applicants stand out from other applicants.
************************************************** **
LinkedIn Summary
1. Using your LinkedIn profile as a resume is quick and easy, because LinkedIn does all the work for you.
2. Fill out your LinkedIn profile as completely as possible, and you’ll have an online resume that you can download as a PDF, print, and share via email.
3. One of the biggest benefits of using LinkedIn is that visibility is directed primarily at the business/corporate community.

social abstract
1. Social resumes include links to one’s social media pages.
2. Social resumes provide a more complex view of an applicant and demonstrate the applicant’s fluency with social media.

4. You can also include the URL on your paper resume.

video summary
1. A video resume is a short video created by job seekers to highlight their skills and experience.
2. This resume format assesses the creative and communicative side of the candidate.
3. Some video resumes also include animated infographics and music. Because a video resume is usually quite short (between one and five minutes), it is almost always supplemented by a traditional resume.
