Know the difference between Functional and Chronological Resume? I bet many of you don't. Read this post and see it for yourself. What most job seekers follow Is the chronological format. In this format one writes their experience section in reverse order. From the current job to the first job. Chronological format is best for: --> You have a steady, progressive career path. --> You’re staying in the same industry. --> You want to showcase your career growth and stable work history. Now comes the mystery format- "functional resume format". Functional format can be used to emphasize your skills more than experiences. It shifts the focus from work history to skills and qualifications, organizing your resume by key competencies. Functional format is best for: --> You’re transitioning to a new field or industry. --> You have employment gaps or short-term roles. --> You want to emphasize transferable skills over job chronology. The right format can make all the difference in how you look in front of the recruiter. It gives you the power to make them notice what you want. Whether you want your career progression from entry to senior level or you want to showcase your expertise across various industries. So, choose wisely the narrative you want to show. PS- Consider reaching out if you need assistance with job search or resume writing. #Resumewriting #Resumewriter
