This is a
functional resume which means that it emphasizes the jobseeker’s
skills and experience and NOT her work history. The most common, but
not necessarily the only reason, that job hunters use a functional
resume is to de-emphasize the gaps in their work history.
In her resume,
Janet chose to focus on her management and technology skills and the
projects that she has completed.
The Good
- She used action verbs like ‘managed’ and
‘developed’ to describe her accomplishments.
- Her descriptions demonstrate the results she has achieved.
For instance:
- Managed and
set up operational procedures that increased efficiency and
productivity.
Employers would
be impressed by such achievements because it displays her abilities to
increase revenue and reduce costs for them, which are the ultimate
goals of any business.
The
Bad
- Although Janet mentioned her achievements, she should be more
specific in her descriptions.
For instance,
she can say that she ‘increased efficiency and productivity by
25%.’
If her
competitor has the similar achievement but is more specific in his
descriptions of his achievements, he has an edge over her.
- In the Employment History section, Janet should leave
out the months of her stint at each company. They are irrelevant and by
including them, she may raise questions about the gap in her history.
Nevertheless, this free resume sample is a Top Resume
with only a few areas that need improvement.
