How is a functional resume different than a chronological resume?
A functional resume lists your background and experience according to skills and competencies, rather than a chronological job history. This type of resume is most often used for executive and senior level professionals with a considerable amount of experience. A chronological resume lists accomplishments achieved in jobs in order of their occurrence starting with your most recent employment. We find that recruiters and hiring managers prefer this format with bullet points that outline your responsibilities.
