Functional Resumes

Functional Resumes are one of the three mainstream types of resume formats used today, the other formats being chronological resumes and combination resumes.  Functional resumes are organized into sections that highlight areas of skills acquired and past accomplishments. Functional resumes are thought to be a more marketable resume format since it the format itself emphasizes skills and accomplishments.

  • The primary advantage of using functional resumes is that they are best suited to job seekers that have acquired important skills that are hidden behind somewhat meaningless job titles.
  • The primary disadvantage of using functional resumes is that the hiring manager might be looking for the very information that the functional resume format allows you to avoid putting on your resume.

More detail on this resume format can be found in our publication - Functional Resume.
