Resume Re-building

[Prudence]

I concur with the non-chron resume advice. A chronology's strength is in showing the amount of time you've put into related positions, thereby establishing credibility. When you don't have the time put into related positions, or that time wasn't recent, a chronology just highlights your lack of experience or lack of recent experience.

Which doesn't mean you don't include a chronology somewhere - probably at the end. In that position, it serves the purpose of showing consistent employment - that you're not a deadbeat, and that you don't spend 2 months at a job and then leave, over and over again.

If you're looking to search for examples, the term you're looking for is "functional resume."

Provided you can wait until next week (might take me that long to get sober again), I'm also happy to take a look at your resume and offer suggestions. Apparently I don't suck at resume construction. Can't get a job myself, but my resume kicks ass.
