Receptionist Resume Samples

When applying for a receptionist position, a job candidate can generally use either a functional or a chronological resume format, depending on their specific situation.


There are some instances in which it would be best to use a functional resume format:

  • Frequently change jobs
  • Frequent periods of unemployment
  • Decided to change careers
The functional resume format allows the job seeker to focus more on skills and less on experience and education.

Many employers; however, prefer the traditional chronological resume format.

In order to take advantage of the benefits of both types of resume formats a job seeker may also wish to use a combination resume format, such as the one in the receptionist resume sample below.
