I have been with the same company for 5 1/2 years while going through college. However, I have recently graduated and am seeking a job that has nothing to do with my degree or my current job. (I know. It makes a whole lot of sense on my part). I’m thinking functional to highlight skills, but I don’t want to undermine the fact that I stuck with the same company for over 5 years. A lot of people seem to think that a functional tells the employer there are career gaps, but this obviously wouldn’t be the case in my situation. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Do a chronological….but then do a short paragraph in your objectives statement….highlight your new direction and tie your current position to your future by stating skills you have that have been successfully used in the current position. Functional resumes are confusing, and rarely seen…..
Good luck! (retired IBM exec mgr/psychologist/college prof)

Here’s a sample resume. Funtional summary emphasizes the jobs you did, not the length of service or where you did it.

The two different types or styles of resumes include chronological and functional resumes, but each profession also has its own preferred style of resume writing. Be sure to use the appropriate template and style when composing a resume or CV with help from an experienced career coach in this free video on resume writing.

I think it is just a condensed summary of what makes you suitable for the position, and it should go at the top of your CV, before you list qualifications/jobs etc.

example: I have 3 years practical experience in a customer service role, during which I gained (example) qualification. I also gained work experience over the summer when I (did whatever job). My work experience is supported by my (8…) GCSE’s/A Level’s which has provided my with the academic basis to excel in (this role)…

Just a short version of what you have that is suitable for the job.

I just started college and I don’t have much work experience. I have been working my fast food job for almost a year and had another job for several months. I’m looking for a part time secretary or office job and I don’t know what kind of resume to create! Functional, chronological, or what?

which ever way that best shows your skills that apply to the new job you’re applying for.

there are some good samples and tips here:
