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, 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.]
- [Use action words and
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, 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.] |
