Why Chronological Resume Matters
The chronological format is the one most recruiters and tracking systems expect, so it is a safe default. It shows career progression clearly when your history is steady. It works best when you have a consistent record without large gaps.
Example
A candidate lists their current job first, then each previous role in reverse order with start and end dates. A recruiter can follow their career path at a glance.
