Finance resume chronological or highlighting top experiences?

Hi! ☺️

Typically, the most common format is reverse chronological order, where you list your experiences from most recent to oldest. This helps recruiters easily see your most recent roles and skills.

That said, if you have older, highly relevant experiences (like a standout internship or project), it can be effective to highlight those first, as long as the rest of your resume still flows logically. You can also consider creating a “Key Achievements” or “Relevant Experience” section at the top to give those experiences extra visibility.

Just make sure to keep the layout clean and easy to follow. I hope that helps!

Pretty much what Rita said.

Most recent experiences first and maybe add a highlighted section with relevant experiences from the past.

I'd stick with reverse chronology - it's the standard and easiest to follow. If something older is particularly relevant, you might want to set up a “Relevant Experience” section to highlight it. Good luck!

Hey There!
That's a really common question when you're crafting your finance resume. For investment banking and finance roles, the reverse chronological order is generally the way to go. Recruiters are usually looking at your most recent stuff first to see what you're up to now.

That being said, you can totally make your most impressive experiences stand out within that reverse chronological format. Think about it like this: you still list everything from newest to oldest, but for those really key experiences – maybe a standout internship or a project that's super relevant – you use really strong bullet points to highlight what you did and the impact you had. Use action verbs and try to quantify your achievements whenever you can. 

So, stick to the reverse order overall, but make those top experiences shine! Good luck!
