Typical Resumes

In discussion with the SimplyHired guys, they came up with two general resume styles which cover the majority of cases.

Remember, in this discussion we want to try and cover the generalities of 80-90% of resume formats (and not just structured formats, but just conventions for how people publish, whether on the web or paper).

Also, this page is for documentation and analysis of current examples of resumes on the web, and description of common resume formats, only. For analysis and ideas, see resume-brainstorming.
