Luckiest,

It is best to include your relevant skills within your experience, listed in chronological order. A summary towards the top is fine and some people will include a technical summary within each chronological experience section. Then list your Education, Certifications, and Professional Associations in that order. Here's an outline:

*Name/Contact Info
*Title/Summary
*Chronological Experience Summaries w/ Technical Skills outlined possibly
*Education
*Certifications
*Professional Associations

Good luck,
Brian

What are your thoughts on video resumes? I know several advertising professionals using video resumes.

Ideally the two versions won't be that different. Employers prefer relevant experience to be recent.

If that is just not how it is for whatever reason, I like to see the chronology in the resume. Any reconciliation of why you are right for the job even if it has been a while is best detailed in the cover letter. If it's a bit of story better to get the truth out than omit crucial details in the interest of extreme brevity. Sob stories should be avoided though.

Is it better to organize your resume by relevant skills or by experience/previous jobs?
