At 23, Becky has just received her B. S. in horticulture from a local state college. She has been interested in flowers and gardening since grade school. While in high school, she won several state-fair ribbons for her flowers, which she grew in a small backyard plot in her spare time between working part-time at a fast-food restaurant and going to school. She has continued working at the restaurant while in college. What advice would you give Becky as she prepares her résumé for a full-time position as the horticulturist for the local county extension service?

Tell her to write a Chronological Resume

Explanation:

One of the three primary resume types is a chronological resume.

This layout draws attention to your experience of working. The present or most recent job is first listed, and it continues in reverse-chronological order throughout the rest of your employment history.

A chronological overview is a clear indication of what positions you held and also how long. Usually, recruiters are more familiar with and tend to prefer the chronological resume style.
