There are three basic types of resumes out there, and the type that's right for you depends upon your experience and the type of position you're trying for. Depending upon your particular skills, achievements, and history, the exact format of each type will vary greatly.
Entry-Level resumes are designed for job seekers who are just out of school or college and have minimal work experience. These resumes generally focus more on your educational achievements and part-time work and internships. Even if the position you're applying for isn't considered "entry-level", this is usually the right choice for those just entering the work force. Entry-level resumes are usually one page long or less.
Professional resumes are the most common type for those who have been working for some time and are looking to change positions, companies, or even careers. Someone with at least one year of post-educational employment who is seeking a professional full-time position would want a professional resume to highlight the skills and achievements he or she acquired in school and on the job. Professional resumes are usually one to two pages in length.
Executive resumes are right for those workers who have a lengthy job history which includes significant management and are shooting for upper-level positions. These are the most complex resumes and the jobs they're designed to get interviews for are the highest-paying around. Executive resumes vary greatly in length, usually coming in at least three pages long and sometimes much longer.
Absolute Resume also offers many additional services designed to get you that interview, including post-interview follow-up letters, reference sheets, salary history sheets, and the absolutely crucial cover letter. Package discounts are a great way to get everything you need to get that interview and save a few bucks at the same time.
