What is the most efficient way to list your qualifications an a resume?

List by subject. Such subjects should include, but should not be limited to: -Educational history, starting with the most recent -Previous employment, starting with the most recent and using discrimination on how far back in the history of your employment you'd like to go (it's usually a good idea to mention jobs that are relevant to the job you're applying for). -Skills that will benefit you at the job in question -References that portray a well-rounded employee


What is the difference between a functional and chronological resume?

In a chronological resume you have to list your job experience in date order, starting with the most recent first. The sections of a chronological resume are -Personal Details -Personal Profile or Job Objective -Career & Related Accomplishments : -Work Experience -Education -Professional Affiliations & Interest -References You'll need to highlight your job experience. Functional resumes are best used in situations where specific skills and accomplishments gained through experience or academic qualifications will demonstrate the candidate's competency. Your skills should be listed in order of their importance. The functional resume is ideal if you're looking for a complete career change. This resume is ideal for students who have no previous work experience and are applying for their first job. Avoid the functional resume when you are applying for traditional jobs, especially positions within government entities or private institutions.

How does a teenager or tween fill out a resume?

I filled out a resume for acting when I was 12, now I'm 13. You don't have to go to any professional place like you do for your headshot, just go to Microsoft word or something. If it is for acting you put your pic on one side, staple your resume to the back. At the top it should say your name under it should say your hair color, eye color, weight and height. If it is for acting, it should show what TV shows or theatre work you have done, under that is where you trained (if you trained at all) and then at the bottom should be special talents. If it is a buisness resume, I don't know.


What do you do if you have had breaks in your employment history for various reasons such as health and returning to school and self-employment?

Put them with your job history. The school, put with the education section, if there is an education section. You need to list everything from the time you started working until now. For health reason, just put the dates that you were sick and say off work because of illness or poor health. Or something similar. I wouldn't put what you were sick from. It's not their business and it doesn't matter anymore. For school, put it in the education section or just list the dates in the work history section and put the name of the school and what you went for, awards you received, if you graduated with honors, etc. For the self employment put the dates and the name of your company. If you didn't have a name, put self employed. And then list the type of job and all of the duties you did while you were your own boss. Bookkeeping, calling customers, scheduling, anything that you did for the job. Be honest with your answers. "As you can see by my resume, I was pursuing additional educational opportunities." Or, " I had the opportunity to be my own boss for awhile and now I am back in the job market for more knowledge and experience within the xyz business and the changes within the field" If it is health related, I would suggest that you just state that you were spending time with family or something noncommital. If you answer because of a health problem, you are opening yourself up to additional questions about the cause and further future issues with the illness. In my experience, breaks need only be listed on your resume. I have had several interviews in different industries and the employer usually will refer to the resume for such information rather than ask point blank about it. Don't worry about breaks less than 2 months. Some people just want a change and it takes them a while to find their new niche.
