Functional Resume Samples

May 22, 2008 |

What to look for when browsing functional resume samples.

The net has a huge array of resume samples scattered
everywhere, some good, others very bad. You may be looking to find one that is
close to what your career is and perhaps bum off it. I highly recommend that
you don’t do this. The biggest reason is because you won’t be able to highlight
your most desirable skills to an employer from someone else’s resume.

Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing against referencing off
someone else’s work, but coping word for word is only hurting yourself. You
aren’t listing you best skills or capabilities from somebody’s resume. To do
this you need to write your own resume.

To help you out here is what a basic functional resume consist
of.

Functional Format
Components:

  • Objective
  • Accomplishments
  • Capabilities
  • Employment
  • Education

The idea of a functional resume is to take your achievements
and capabilities out of the experience section and put them in the corresponding
sections. This focuses the employer’s attention on what you can do and have
done instead of where you’ve worked and when.

Only after you are able to knock the socks off of the
employer with your skills and accomplishments, you should introduce your work
history in a brief format with dates.

To know what I am talking about , this person’s skills are bolded and are put
in a bulleted format to draw the employer’s attention to it and help them read
it quickly. Another thing to use when describing your skills and
accomplishments is specific numbers and action words to make yourself look and
sound like a really good worker. Don’t lie in your resume but keep it as real
as you can.

In Summary

Hopefully by now I have been able to give you some insight
in what to look for if you do decide to use someone else’s functional resume to
“cheat? off of. If your writing your resume you should be more than well off in
constructing a very powerful tool to landing the position your gunning for. If
