Sample of the Functional Resume

Functional Resume

The goal of a functional resume is to highlight the skills, qualifications and experience which may be required for a particular position. It is not necessary to present your work experience in chronological order for this style of resume. It is important to emphasize the skills which match the position you’re applying for, so you need to adjust the resume to fit the application. This approach is ideal if you’re changing careers, or if you have awkward gaps in your work history.
