Resume Template 2
Resume Template 2 is in a scannable,
functional format. At first glance, it might seem to be essentially
a combination resume template. That's because a functional format
emphasizes qualifications, as does a combination format. But a
closer look reveals that functional format also de-emphasizes work
history, by placing it near the end without much said about each
employer.
That's why some job candidates use the functional format to de-emphasize
a weak employment record or "hide" work-history gaps.
Subsequently, providing employment dates is optional in the Employers
section of this resume template. But, think twice about not including
employment dates. See Functional Resume Format under Resume
Formats for more information.
You may download Resume Template 2 for free and modify it for
personal use. It's an RTF file, which is compatible with most word
processors (such as Microsoft® Word) and safe to download.
But first, please read the Important notice below.
It includes the download link.
If you'd prefer a functional resume template that has the headings
listed above the sections, see Resume
Template 6. Refer to Resume
Templates for the formats and styles available for
downloading.
Because of differences in the way that Web browsers and word processors
display pages, the resume template format (line spacing, margins,
fonts, etc.) displayed below differs slightly from the download
version.
If you copy and paste this resume template from your screen instead
of downloading it, the format might not stay intact. That's because
copying picks up background Web-page formatting that might not
be understood by the software application into which you paste
it.

QUALIFICATIONS |
[For general resume submissions,
summarize your most important qualifications. If you're
applying for a specific job, tailor your qualifications
to match those required in the job description, as
closely as possible without making them up. Use action
words and industry-standard keywords.
Optionally, also list a one- to three-word specific
per bullet (•) below, keeping each to one line
if possible. If needed, rename this section to better
fit what you write, such as Profile, Summary or Background.]
|
[OPTIONAL] |
[Summarize, highlight in the bullets
below or both.]
- [This resume template section is optional, but
often included in a functional resume when a summary
of qualifications alone won't do.]
- [Use it to expand upon your qualifications or highlight
anything that you think is important, such as special
skills or stellar achievements. Name it appropriately.]
- [Incorporate action
words and industry-standard keywords.]
|
| EXPERIENCE |
[Job Title or Function]
[Optional brief description]
- [Briefly list job responsibilities, one per bullet.]
- [If applying for a specific job, match the job
description requirements as closely as possible without
embellishing.]

industry-standard keywords.]

[Optional brief description]
- [List significant awards, accomplishments or curricular
activities, or your minor, work completed toward
advanced degree, etc.]
- [If you're fresh out of school with little career
work experience, making your education your most
significant career asset, move this section higher
up in your resume.]
- [For example, if your career accomplishments are
limited because you've been earning a degree, you
might delete the Optional section and move this section
to just below the Qualifications section.]
|
[EXTRA] |
[Optional extra section for what you
think is important to emphasize; for example, special
skills, military experience, awards or membership in
career-related professional organizations. (Personal
hobbies and interests are no longer included in U.S.
resumes, because they have too-often given the wrong
impression.) If this section is more important than
another, move it up in your resume. Delete this section
from the resume template if you don't use it.]
|
REFERENCES |
References available on request. [This
resume template section is often omitted in modern
resumes, because employers now assume that applicants
will provide references if asked. If you want to keep
it anyway, just delete this bracketed text. If you
need the space, delete this whole section.] |
