Sample Functional Resume 4

Susan Ireland's Comments:
Career Change

Thomas Horton's functional resume allowed him to change careers from law to nonprofit management in April 2000. This format emphasized his transferable skills (management, development, and motivation) in the body of his resume so that the employer would see him as a manager with a legal background rather than a lawyer trying to get into management.
