Functional Resume

A functional resume focuses on your skills and experience, rather than on your chronological work history. It is typically used by job seekers who are changing careers, who have gaps in their employment history, or whose work history is not directly related to the job. In this way, specific skills and capabilities are emphasized to highlight the job seeker's abilities.

This is different from a traditional resume that displays a timeline of reverse chronological work experience with brief explanations of each job.

• Focuses only on your skills and experience
• Used most often by people who are changing careers
• Used by people who have gaps in their employment history
• Recommended for those who have a very strong or specific skill set
• Recommended for those who are asked to give a quick snapshot to a decision maker.

• With this type of resume, you can highlight the skills you have that are relevant to the job you are applying for, and also provide the chronological work history that employers prefer.

Infographic Resume

An infographic resume differs from traditional resume styles in that it uses graphic design elements. Whereas a traditional resume will simply use basic text to list information from top-to-bottom, an infographic resume uses layout, color, icons, and font styling to organize content.

• An infographic resume uses visuals including images, photos, graphs, charts and other graphics to provide information about a job seeker.
• Infographics can be shared with connections and prospective employers and pinned to Pinterest.
• They are like traditional resumes in that they convey similar information such as contact information, previous work experience, and related skills.

However, infographic resumes convey this information in a highly visual format; for example, instead of listing previous work experience in chronological order, an infographic resume may display this information in an illustrated timeline. An infographic's unique blend of text and images can help job seekers stand out from other applicants.
