There are two mainstream formats for resumes. They are Chronological and Functional.
- 1) A Chronological resume, is used mainly by those who have a strong work history that they would like to showcase. Most professionals seeking employment tend to use a chronological format. More importantly, Human Resource professionals often prefer a chronological resume because it highlights their past work history (a very important thing to an employer). It is also used by those who want to stay in the same field, thus showcasing your most recent job experience and history.
This type of resume is generally categorized in sections starting with a Heading (name, address etc.), Objective, Qualifications, Work Experience and then Education; in that order. Following is an outline sheet and a sample resume highlighting specifically how these sections should be organized on your chronological resume and what you should focus on when authoring these sections.
- 2) A Functional resume is used by individuals who have a work history that is erratic or shows gaps in employment by showcasing your skills rather than your work history. It is also used by those who are attempting to change career fields. It does this by focusing on your transferable skills rather than the career-specific skills of your most recent jobs.
A functional resume takes elements of the Chronological resume and combines a functional approach. The functional approach involves organizing your experience according to specific skills or functions. Some major skill categories can be Sales, Project Management, Customer Service, or Technology. This format can be useful for both the employer and the applicant. The applicant can use this arrangement to communicate capabilities and transferable skills combined with work experience. An employer is able to collectively view transferable skills to determine if the applicant’s skills are applicable to the open position.
As with the chronological resume, an outline sheet and a sample resume are provided to highlight specifically how these sections should be organized on your functional resume and what you should focus on when authoring these sections.
HEADING
- Make sure your name stands out by using a larger font or bold type (just for your name).
- In most cases, use your local address. However, you may also include a permanent address.
- Your phone number and email address are extremely important, as an employer must be able to reach you.
- It is common for people to use a line to separate this section of the resume from the remaining sections.
Name:_________________________________________________________________
Address:______________________________________________________________
City/State/Zip:__________________________________________________________
Phone:_________________________________________________________________
E-mail (optional):_______________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE
The objective section in the interview ultimately answers the question: “What do you want to do?” This section is written with the same goal as the chronological resume. Take note that you do not want this statement to be more than two lines at the most. It needs to be short, sweet and to the point. It is necessary that the position for which you are applying is listed in your objective. An employer will not take the time to assume what position/positions you are interested in. You need to communicate that information in your objective.
QUALIFICATIONS
This section is also written with the same goal as the chronological resume. It is designed to grab the employer’s attention. Your qualifications in this section need to highlight what the interviewer will read in the body of your resume. It is very important that you ensure that your qualifications match the type of job you are applying for. Remember, most employers will depend on the first ten to fifteen lines of your resume to determine whether or not they are interested, so it is necessary that you grab their attention in this section. You need to have at least five, and no more than seven listed qualifications.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
This section is designated for you to select skill areas of your previous work history to showcase your skill-set and transferable skills as a whole rather than in a specific area. It is important for you to carefully select three to four areas of your work history that communicate that you have the skills to move into the career field of your choice. It may be necessary at times to change the selected accomplishments to cater the resume to the job that you are applying for. (Example: Management, Administrative, Customer Service.) You will not want to list any more than four to five descriptions of each skill area. Additionally, you will not want to list any more than four skill areas. Please follow these guidelines when writing your functional resume. Note that most of these guidelines are the same guidelines given for the chronological resume, however they do differ slightly.
1. Do not only list the duties you performed on the job, list the things that you did well. Sell yourself!
2. Make certain you list skills that are transferable into your newly desired field.
3. Think of all of the small details of your previous positions and try to identify keywords that help you to describe what you did in an intelligent way. (Ex. If you were a cashier, you were involved in cash management and auditing a cash register) Refer to the keyword list if needed.
4. Do not lie. Always be truthful; however make sure that you sell the duties that you did perform.
5. Make sure you use the same tense throughout your resume. I recommend that you write everything in present tense rather than past indicating that you are still capable of past skill-sets. Example: Do not end descriptive words in “ing” in one bullet point and, while describing the same position, end a descriptive word with “ed” in the next bullet point. They are different tenses, conflict with one another and it is not professional
6. Use statistical information if available. Statistical language using numbers sounds impressive and is factual. Employers love to hear how you improved your last company’s stats. (Ex. Improved production by 70 %.)
7. As discussed earlier in the Application section, you are to list the month and the year for your dates of employment. Not so when reporting your dates of employment in a resume. You should only report the year’s that you were in each position. Example: Your last job 2001-2003.
8. Take time to look at other resumes that have been developed in your field to see how others have explained their skill-set. Use any language or information available that will help you sound more impressive.
9. Include only the most relevant information to that specific industry, function, or even employer. Employers do not want to spend a lot of time reading about things that do not apply to them!
10. Incorporate key words into your descriptions, but do not overuse “buzzwords”. Include enough technical terms to show you familiarity with an industry.
11. MAKE SURE TO CATCH ALL ERRORS IN YOUR RESUME. DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECK SPELLING AND GRAMMER. Have at least two other people review your resume. Having errors in your resume is unacceptable for any reputable employer.
