MGMT 191W Chapter 13: 191W Ch 13
Document Summary
In a chronological r sum , the work experience section dominates and is placed immediately after your contact information and introductory statement. A functional r sum emphasizes your skills and capabilities, identifying employers and academic experience in subordinate sections. Without having to read through job descriptions, employers can get an idea of what you can do for them. You can emphasize earlier job experience through the skills you gained in those positions. You can de-emphasize any lengthy unemployment or lack of career progress. A combination r sum meshes the skills focus of the functional format with the job history focus of the chronological format. It allows you to highlight your capabilities and education when you don"t have a long or steady employment history, without raising concerns that you might be hiding something about your past. Short, crisp phrases built around verbs and nouns. Accomplished, coordinated, created, initiated, systematized, implemented, improved, developed.
