A functional resume is a type of resume format that focuses on skills and experiences rather than a chronological listing of work history. This format highlights your abilities and accomplishments in specific areas, making it suitable for individuals with non-linear career paths or those wanting to showcase transferable skills.

A functional resume is generally used when you are trying to find a job after a period of unemployment, career changes, limited work experience, project-based roles, etc.

Update the resume content.

As a functional resume focuses more on skills and achievements, pay attention to the following.

• Improve the objective and key qualifications.
• Improve the Skills section by writing the details about individual skills. If you have mentioned your skill details in the experience section, you could move them here.
• If not already added, add the Accomplishments with the details. If it was a team task, mention your contributions.
• Complete the remaining applicable sections like education, training, certificates, etc.

Rearrange the sections.

• Generally in a functional resume, objective and or key qualifications come first, followed by skills / professional skills, accomplishments, experience, education, etc.
• To rearrange the sections, in the pdf builder screen, tap on more options icon, then Rearrange sections to arrange the sections as per your liking.

Any template could be used to make a functional resume by re-arranging the sections.
