Metamorphosis

A functional resume, is a great tool for the midlife woman, who is looking for a resource, to help her with a career transition and build a bridge to the opportunity she desires. Why? Well, this type of resume is a wonderful way to access your skills and really look at the transferable expertise you have. This is because you can highlight, group and summarize your abilities and accomplishments, in a way you can’t in a chronological resume. You will also be able to include talents, you have developed; but, were not paid for. This will include; but, is not limited too: volunteer work, hobbies, internships, and projects done on the job, that are not a part of your role.

You still don’t see the benefits of writing a functional resume? Then, think about this. A functional resume will give your work experience a cohesive voice that will also benefit you, when you start writing your mission statement, business plan or interviewing for your new opportunity. This resume will allow you to quantify, categorize, and validate your skills and knowledge not only to others; but, for yourself, too. Finally, this resume will allow you to see where you may have skill gaps that you need to develop. So after all is said, the functional resume is not just a tool to assist you in finding your next opportunity; but, a resource that makes you, much more effective in your quest for a career change.
