With a functional resume, your accomplishments, qualifications, and
experience are grouped together and presented according to areas of
skill. This is a useful format to use if your career experience is
limited, or has empty areas. A functional resume will vary and
change for each job you consider. Your abilities and skills must be
presented in a manner specific to the job opening.
Use a functional resume format
if:
- You have noticeable gaps in
your work history.
- You are changing careers.
- You are just entering or
reentering the job market.
- You are a consultant,
freelancer or temporary worker.
DO NOT use the functional
format if:
- You do not have defined
accomplishments and abilities.
- You have not targeted your
resume to a specific position.
