Functional Resume Template

The functional resume (as described in Choose a Resume Format) is the least preferred format by recruiters and employers. However, if you are making an extreme career change or have a very confusing or troubled work history, the functional resume may be your best bet.

To see the functional resume in use by real job seekers, please browse my group of Resume Examples in the Functional Format. You'll see how this format was used to solve some pretty tough resume problems. Notice the wide range of careers and levels of employment from entry-level to management.

As I said, this format is not an employer's pick, so avoid it if possible. Even some of the functional resume examples above, could be redone in the chronological or combination formats to be more effective in today's job market.
