• Functional
• Combination

16. Chronological
Employment Focus
• Lists and describes employment history in
reverse chronological order (starting with
the most recent job).
• Works well if you have employment experience
that fits potential employer needs.
• Poor choice forrecentgraduates because a
student’s job history often reflectspart-time work
not in his/herfield of study. Asa result, it isdifficult
for a potential employer to see how you would
fit the position description.

17. 17
Functionalor
SkillsFocus
• Organized to emphasize course work,
particularly, large projects. Allows you to
showcase the knowledge and skillsyou
have developed in pursuing yourdegree
that fit position description.
• A functional resume does not mean that
you should ignore your employment
experience.
• Afterall, if anyone has employed you, it is
relevant to a potential employer
,but you
want to de-emphasize those positions (such
as that pizza delivery job, wait-staff positions
etc.) that do not sell your qualifications well.
• Typically, you can list employment that is
not directly relevant at the bottom of the
resume and limit the content (generally,
you will want to just state the name of the
position, employer
,and dates of
employment.

18. Combination
Employment
and Functional Focus
• If you have experience in your field (such
as a previous internship experience or
other position), you may want to choose
a combination of targeted
employment/functional focus.
• Body is organized around work history that
directly relates to the position you are
applying for and also includes a section
that emphasizes course work, particularly,
large projects where you collaborated
with others.
• Again, this type of resume does not mean
that you leave off all other employment
experience, but you de-emphasize it as in
the functional resume.
