Like all resumes, the chronological resume includes contact information and an objective; however where it differs from other resumes is in regards to work experience and education.
The chronological resume also
gives the job seeker the opportunity to highlight their educational
accomplishments; such as Deans’ List as well as any
affiliations that might be relevant to the position for which they are
applying.

Chronological Resume Tips
Work experience must be listed with your most recent job first.
Hiring managers are very busy people and frequently have to process hundreds of resumes. They do not have the time and are not interested in reading pages of information about jobs you did many years ago.
What you need to do is provide detailed information for your most recent job and progessively less for older jobs.
