Your curriculum vitae have a very crucial role in determining your career prospect. You have enough experiences for the open position but still you could not get chance to prove yourself. It is not your fault, it happened because of your poor resume quality. Your CV could not effectively represent you. So, we have job seeker website like CVSeen.com. It gives ample opportunities for Jobs in Christchurch, Jobs in Queenstown, Auckland, and at many other places.

But, all these opportunities need an impressive applicants’ impression especially through their curriculum vitae. In general practice, applicants arrange their job experiences in chronological order and send their CV to recruiter. Well! It may be the easiest way but can not be perfect one. You may have spent very short time period in every job which may be matter of concern for recruiters. So, CV experts promote functional resume format.

Experts pay huge regard to functional resume format. Instead of functional resume format, they prefer to use ‘skills resume’. The reason is also very obvious. A functional resume format elaborates gist of your qualifications organized by education, experience, achievements, and skills, rather than job history in chronological format. Though, it is true that traditional chronological resume format is the most preferable one from recruiters’ point of view but skills resume or functional resume format also have its own USP (unique selling point).

Some companies desperately need expert hands. Hence, they do not care about applicants’ job history, academic qualification or any other irrelevant aspect which does not directly incline towards the job profile. All they need is only knowledge and your expertise so they prefer skills resume because it immaculately briefs applicants’ expertise in different niche. But desperate need does not mean acceptance of absurd information. One should not forget that irrespective of urgency and need recruiters can not take chance at least in terms of verifying credentials. So, never try to incorporate fake or irrelevant stuffs into your resume.  

Undoubtedly, functional resume format is perfect one for those who are returning into job market or frequently quitted the jobs. For instance, a mother is planning to enter into job market after having a baby and years of gap period.
