I had to search on Google a functional resume. The common thing I saw in functional resume is that they would list their skills and attribute, then they would speak of their work history. Is that why the author sees a problem with functional resumes? Random information to you, I'm going to redo my resume again.

Interesting article about functional resumes.
I certainly can see both sides. As an HR Professional sure I tend to prefer resumes that are laid out neatly without gaps of employment.
I have seen functional resumes that have been successful in getting a candidate's foot in the door....then the candidate was able to explain the reasons for gaps of employment.
Our reality: Positions are being reduced and eliminated constantly. I have seen so many talented individuals who have gaps of employment, due to no fault of their own.
Goal of a resume: The goal of your resume is to land you that interview. You have to be honest. You have to play to your strengths. At times candidates may have too many gaps where the functional resume may be the best card to play.
What do you think?
Make it a great day!
