Functional résumés

1. The functional resume tends to be the logical opposite of the chronological resume. De-emphasizing dates, positions, and responsibilities while emphasizing qualifications, skills and related accomplishments. This resume begins with a functional job objective and organizes skills into functional categories. The functional resume is internally coherent because all elements focus on an objective and an audience. This resume essentially outlines abilities and transferable skills and tells employers what you will most likely do for them.

2. Functional resumes are especially useful for individuals lacking work experience or for those trying to enter a new occupation where they lack direct job-related experience.

3. Functional resumes do have certain weaknesses if not done properly. For example, this type of resume can communicate "fluff' if not expertly structured around concrete experience and a clear objective. Some writers have a tendency to make generous use of a functional language which appears "canned" and says little about the specifics employers look for in candidates. Rather than grabbing the attention of employers, some of these resumes may turn off employers because they appear cleverly designed to cover-over the lack of experience. Reading this type of resume, employers may ask "where's the beef?"

4. Lacking content, these resumes may raise more questions than you want to answer. Therefore, your functional resume must be a delicate balance between the employer's need to know "the details" and your desire to motivate the employer to invite you to the interview where you will talk about "the details." Nonetheless, a well structured functional resume can be an outstanding document for presenting your skills.
