The Combination Resume
 

 
Sometimes none of the formats will adequately suit a jobseeker's needs and a combination between formats is required. This can, for example, help to highlight both a chronological employment history while simultaneously highlighting some outstanding skills and achievements which would otherwise be downplayed.

Any combination of styles can be considered, providing the standard elements of a resume - personal details, employments history etc. are included. In South Africa, resume style also may incorporate an identity number, drivers license code and other data.
