Sample Functional Resume 2

Yana Parker's Comments:
Education and training stronger than work experience
John is relatively new in his scientific profession and, although he has recent experience in a lab, he wanted to draw on some important projects from his summer internship a few years back. By organizing his information in a functional resume, he highlighted his school projects under skill headings that define his job objective.
