          There  are   three  commonly  used  types  of  resumes.  A  brief
          description and outline for each type follow:

          A. Chronological
               Starts with your present or most recent position and        
               works backward.  The chronological resume is best used      
               in situations where your current job or employer is the     
               strongest in your history.
