Work experience should generally be listed on a resume in reverse chronological order, meaning that the most recent job should be listed first and the oldest job should be listed last. This format allows the reader to quickly see an applicant’s most recent and relevant work experience.
For each work experience entry, include the job title, company name, the dates of employment, and three to five bullet points explaining your responsibilities and achievements.
Here’s an example of how to order work experience on your resume:
