Types of CV

Chronological

Focuses on experience - what you have done.
Usually written in reverse chronological order, with the most relevant and recent experience first.

“A reader retains 80% of the first page read and that decreases by 20% per page after that” (Mark Richards, Career Management Recruitment Professionals).

For positions applied for within Customs, it is best to use a Chronological CV, especially if there has been a natural progression in your career.  It is important that you directly match your skills to those required in the role description.

Functional/ Results Oriented

Focuses on strengths and skills - what you can do.
Includes relevant personal information but focuses on what you have achieved in education, relevant work and other experiences.
