What is the Purpose of a Resume?

Purposes of the résumé

A well-crafted résumé serves several important roles in your job search:

·       Used by employers to screening job applicants

·       An online advertisement of your candidacy

·       A networking tool

·       Tool for interview preparation

·       Guide for interviewers

Types of résumés

Chronological résumé is the most common type of résumé.  In it the work history, listed from the most recent job backwards in time, represents the largest section of content and includes information about relevant responsibilities and achievements.  This is what most hiring managers and recruiters expect to see, so if you are able to use it, this is the best type to choose.

Functional résumé might be chosen by those who do not have recent experience in the targeted job field.  It focuses on the knowledge, skills and accomplishments most relevant to the job being sought. While job history is included as a list with little detail, it appears at or near the end of the résumé.  This allows the job seeker to focus the reader’s attention on what does qualify him/her for the position (the relevant skills, etc.), rather than job titles that might have no relation to the job being sought.  People who are starting out in their careers or who have had long gaps in their work history might also choose the functional résumé.  The disadvantage is that recruiters and HR representatives know why a candidate chooses a functional résumé over a chronological one, and may tend to dismiss it.

Blended résumé is a hybrid of the two that might be a better choice than the straight functional résumé.  Like the functional résumé, the blended one highlights the relevant skills, knowledge and accomplishments, but it also includes more information in the work history section so it doesn’t look like the candidate is trying to hide something.

Now that you understand the basics of resume types, feel free to research resumes by the industry. If you dont see the job you are looking for please let us know.
