Resume Template 6
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, just
as a combination format does. But, unlike the combination format, the functional
format de-emphasizes work history, by placing it near the end without much said
about it.
Thus, why some job applicants use the functional format to de-emphasize a weak
employment record or "hide" work-history gaps. The latter is why providing
employment dates is optional in the Employers section of this resume template.
But, think twice about not providing employment dates. See Functional
Resume Format under Resume Formats for
more information.
You may download this functional resume template 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.
This functional resume template has the headings listed above the sections.
If you'd prefer one that has the headings listed to the left of the sections,
see Resume Template 2. Refer to Resume
Templates for other formats and styles you may download.
The resume template format (line spacing, margins, fonts, etc.) displayed below
is a little different from the download version. That's because Web browsers
and word processors display pages in different ways. The download version is
better formatted.
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 here, 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.]

[School Name, City, State or Degree, Credit Hours or Diploma]
[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, relevant military duty, 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, simply delete this bracketed text. If you need the space,
delete this section.] |
