A crucial part of showcasing our best selves online is starting with the right app. The same applies with resumes \u2013 you want to use a resume format that fits your experience and the position you\u2019re applying for. Picking the right resume to highlight your skills and work history will help you get more views. And your reward won\u2019t just be a bigger follower count; it could get you a bigger bank account.

Like Twitter, it keeps others up to date on important information you want to share. The chronological order makes it easy to create and keep organized. Be careful though \u2013 this resume may not be right for you if you spent a lot of time between jobs. That two-year gap between positions may raise some eyebrows. Definitely not something to tweet about.

Showing off all the cool things you did on vacation is part of the fun, right? Just as Instagram shows off your coolest vacation experiences, a functional resume shows employers your most important professional experiences and skills. Putting the spotlight on your abilities can help hide work history you don\u2019t want to share. Instead of listing employers and dates, have fun (but be professional) when bragging about yourself\u2026I mean detailing your job qualifications.

Share your other accounts on Facebook! That lets you combine some the best parts of Twitter with some of the best parts of Instagram, all in one place. Similarly, the combination resume combines the chronological and functional resumes. This resume takes more time and creativity to make \u2013 you\u2019ll have to keep it very clear and organized or it will get confusing \u2013 but it might be worth it!

Just because you accepted a Facebook friend request from that weird kid from high school doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019d swipe right if you saw them on Tinder. The same way that you don\u2019t want to connect with just anybody on Tinder, you don\u2019t want to use a CV (curriculum vitae) or federal-style resume for just any job. These are unique resume types that you only want to use in particular situations. The federal resume is typically longer than a standard resume and includes a lot more detail on all your experience and education. Your CV should be even more detailed and is submitted for specific fields. A CV is most often used when applying for jobs in medicine or academics. Show recruiters that you know how to apply with the right resume for the job, and they might just super like you.

It stores all the information you\u2019d need to create a resume of any type, in one central, accessible place. Having all your experience and skills saved in one resume makes it easy to pick and choose which parts to deploy for a particular job. You can then copy and paste from your master resume into another. Since you\u2019ll have your information saved in one place, you won\u2019t need to worry about starting from scratch each time!
