Functional flips the traditional resume structure by leading with skills and competencies rather than chronological work history. Skills are grouped into functional categories with supporting achievement bullets pulled from across your career, making it clear what you can do without drawing attention to when or where you did it. This is the strategic choice for career changers, freelancers with diverse clients, and anyone whose skills tell a stronger story than their job titles.
