A functional resume allows a job seeker to apply for various different positions or industries with only one document while encompassing what the reader should see first, which would be a summary of qualifications, areas of expertise, and core competencies. When writing a functional resume, it is important to focus more on how you can contribute to the company you are applying for versus the companies you have worked for. They want to see the breadth of your skill set, then a short summary of your work history after. A functional resume is best in situations where you have the same exact information for each job you’ve held, have a diverse background, or if you have little or no experience at all in a particular industry you are targeting.
This is the most effective method in obtaining an interview for a specific job listing. With this type of format, you will be able to match the employer’s job specifications with your skills and qualifications. A targeted resume should showcase your key strengths and highlight key/buzz words that will be noticed by applicant screening systems or the human eye. Developing this type of format requires extreme attention to detail, a solid understanding of what employers are looking for, and a qualification-focused approach that will keep you from being rejected before you even make it to the interview. Basically, grabbing the reader’s attention up-front with a resume that is targeted to meet their job requirements is paramount!
A hybrid resume should be a combination of skills or accomplishments that blend together with a detailed summary of your experience. With this type of resume, you can combine the functional, targeted, and reverse-chronological aspects of formatting to enhance the reader’s insight of your entire career history. This format has been proven very successful for many job seekers since it is used as a very robust presentation of an impressive background and is usually best for C-level executives or professionals with notable accomplishments who want to make sure nothing is missed. Key performance milestones paired with a strong set of qualifications can make this format a powerful approach.
