Functional Resume

The functional resume is used to assert a focus to skills that are specific to the type of position being applied for. This format directly emphasizes specific professional capabilities and utilizes experience summaries as its primary means of communicating professional competency. In contrast, the chronological resume format will briefly highlight these competencies prior to presenting a comprehensive time line of career growth via reverse-chronological listing with most recent experience listed first.

The functional resume works well for those making a career change, having a varied work history and with little or no work experience. This type of resume is also preferred for applications to jobs that require a very specific skill set or clearly defined personality traits. A functional resume is a good method for highlighting particular skills or experience, especially when those particular skills or experience may have derived from a role which was held some time ago.

Rather than focus on the length of time that has passed, the functional resume allows the reader to identify those skills quickly.

Feel free to for your own personal use. Play around with the style, fonts, and the overall layout if you wish. Hopefully this will give you an idea of what a functional resume looks like and includes.
