Question:
write a Functional resume,please help me
Answer:
Functional
In this non-linear format, your skills and achievements
are emphasized. Your employment history is summarized or
avoided all together. Your skills and previous relevant
experience (including educational experience) are presented
at the beginning of your resume. They are organized so the
employer can see how your skills relate to the job position
you are applying for. (In a Chronological resume, employers
may simply be looking at the jobs you have held previously
to see if you have the experience they are looking for.) It
may take more effort to write a Functional resume, but you
are free to highlight your talents instead of your recent
job experience. The Functional resume can be particularly
effective if you've held a number of similar positions;
it will allow you to highlight your skills rather than
itemize what might be a redundant looking job history.
But the Functional resume may also raise concerns in
some employers' minds as to whether you are withholding
information. This doesn't mean that functional resumes are
ignored or that they can't be effective. But an employer
looking for a clear job history may be put off by the
Functional format, especially if you've used a Functional
resume to hide your inexperience or a long gap in your emp
loyment history.
If you don't have any problems with the reverse
Chronological format, use it instead. If you still like
the idea of the Functional format, you may want to make
it more acceptable by combining it with the Chronological
format and creating a Combination resume.
