太多人都犯了同样的一个错误：他们认为履历的目的就是为他们带来一份工作。而实际上，履历的主要目的是让招聘者有兴趣邀请你参加面试。
然而当你并不适合这份工作的时候，如何让招聘者对你产生兴趣呢？就好像人们的块头和体型都不同一样，履历也都各不相同。
时序型履历
时序型履历似乎是被最为广泛使用的履历格式。这种履历通常包括一个目标/或者总结陈述和一个曾经工作的公司和业绩的时序列表（按照从最近到过去的时间顺序）。教育信息和各种职业能力认证和特殊技能包含在一起。
这种类型的履历适合工作经验丰富的求职者，但是对于那些频繁跳槽或者刚刚开始工作的人们来说，这种履历恐怕不会改变你落选的命运。那么如果你不能像其他人那样凭借时序型履历彰显自己的优点和特长的话， 你如何才能够让自己出类拔萃呢？
功能型履历
花时间写一份很棒的功能型履历。功能型履历突现的是你的各种能力，像招聘，管理或者培训等，而不是自己过去的工作经历。你仍然需要总结自己的工作经历，但是你只需要在履历的末尾简略的写上一笔。不用担心。当招聘者读到那里的时候，他早已决定给你面试的机会了。
大多数关于履历写作的书籍有专门的章节告诉你如何写功能型或者基于技能的履历。去当地的书店或者图书馆翻翻这方面的书籍，然后挑上几本回去读读。
我最喜欢的一本关于履历写作的书是一本很经典的老书。它已经不能再版了，但是你仍然能够在网上或者图书馆里找到这本书。这本书叫做《给自己雇个老板》，作者是Richard Irish。这本书会告诉你有些忠告是非常可靠的。
哪些人应该使用功能型履历？
功能型履历对于这些人尤其有用：
•工作经历中有断层的求职者
•再就业人群
•频繁更换工作者
•想转行的求职者
•不太符合招聘者心目中形象的求职者
功能型履历之所以适合以上的这些情形，是因为我们很多人都是在工作的过程当中学会许多技能的。比如说，你曾经当过零售经理，那么很有可能你会负责招聘，培训，训练，评估和处理职工关系等许多工作。
如果你在时序型履历当中列举这些信息，那么很有可能招聘经理（或者电脑）将会直接跳过你，因为你没有担任过人力资源经理的职务，就算哪怕你一天当中有百分之五十的时间是花在人力资源相关的工作上了。
一切都取决于你如何包装自己。你可以用一种全新的，更好的方式来包装自己，尽管你提交给招聘者的信息是完全相同的。这样你就能够获得更多面试的机会，从而大大增加获得理想工作的机率。
Should You Use a Chronological or Functional Resume?Too many people make the mistake of thinking that a resumehjteshufuhaos purpose is to get them a job. Actually, resumes open and close doors. Their main purpose is to make an employer interested enough to invite you in for an interview.
But how do you create that interest when you donhjteshufuhaot exactly fit the mold? Just as people come in different sizes and shapes, so do resumes.
Chronological Resumes The chronological resume seems to be the most popular format used. This type of resume usually contains an objective and/or summary statement and a chronological listing (from most recent to past) of all your employers along with related accomplishments. Educational information is included along with certifications and special skills.
This type of resume may be fine for someone who is experienced, but if you are switching careers or are just entering the workforce, this type of resume will most likely help you wind up in the "no" pile. So how do you showcase your talents if you canhjteshufuhaot lay them out like everyone else?
Functional Resumes Take the time to develop a strong functional resume. Functional resumes highlight your abilities, such as hiring, managing or coaching, rather than your chronological work history. Youhjteshufuhaoll still need to summarize your work history, but this is usually done at the bottom of your resume. Donhjteshufuhaot panic. By the time the reader has gotten to that point, he is usually sold on bringing you in for an interview.
Most books on resume writing contain sections on how to write functional or skills-based resumes. Go to your local bookstore or library and thumb through some books. Then make your selection.
One of my favorite books on this topic is an oldie but goodie. Ithjteshufuhaos old enough to be out of print, but you can still find copies online or at libraries. The book is titled Go Hire Yourself an Employer by Richard Irish. It just goes to show that solid advice is just that -- solid.
Who Should Use a Functional Resume? A functional resume is particularly useful for people who:
•Have gaps in their work history.
•Are reentering the workforce.
•Have frequently changed jobs.
•Are looking to transition into new careers.
•Donhjteshufuhaot exactly fit the mold of what recruiters are looking for in the positions they want.
The reason functional resumes work well in these situations is that many of us have acquired skills while working that are very transferable. For example, if you have worked as a retail manager, chances are you were responsible for hiring, training, coaching, evaluating and handling employee relations issues.
If you were to submit this information in a chronological resume, therehjteshufuhaos a good chance a hiring manager (or computer) might skip right by you, because you did not hold the title of human resources manager, even if 50 percent of your day was spent dealing with HR-related issues.
It all comes down to how you package yourself. You can give employers the same information, only in a new and improved package. This is bound to get you more interviews, which will increase your chances of landing the job you want.
