<bot>: To format a resume effectively, start by deciding on the type of resume that best suits your purpose. The most popular types of resumes are chronological, functional, and combination resumes. Once you decide, begin by including elements such as your contact information, work history, education and skills. Make sure to only include relevant information and be sure to keep it up-to-date. Use an easy-to-read font and use a consistent formatting, such as lining up the dates on your job history. Finally, double-check for typos and use action verbs to describe your previous experience and accomplishments.
