Chronological, functional or combination resume, which one is most beneficial for a transitioning Veteran?

Agree with others who said tailor for each job application. In general I liked chronological both from the applicant and manager perspective. I always looked for a pattern of increasing responsibility and accomplishments.

Yes. Each type of resume has a function and purpose and each could be the best for a transitioning veteran...it is always in the detail and we have no detail on the veteran, or the job, so an actual answer is impossible.

With this being said, for most transitioning veterans, coming right out of the service, they probably would want to take a very close look at the chronological resume. Also, remember the resume is not, and never has been, designed to get a job. The resume is to get an interview. Often, too much information is worse than not enough. Give the person reviewing the resume what they need to move you to the next level.

I think that chronological will have the most bang for the buck. It demonstrates the most recent experience.
