Sample Resume
for someone seeking a job as an
Automotive Service Manager / Director

This resume begins on a confident note with a professional title near the top. Just under the "Relevant Accomplishments" heading, the job seeker gave the name of the employer where all the accomplishments took place. This technique allowed him to take the spotlight off his Work History, which hints at his current self-employment/unemployment. Notice how he listed promotions in the Work History section. He did not put dates in the Education section, so as to avoid age discrimination. Functional resume, updated 2006.
