Marissa is going back to work after taking 10 years off to raise her children. She is starting her job search process and is trying to write a new résumé so that she can apply to jobs. What résumé format should Marissa use?

A functional résumé emphasizes skills, abilities, and accomplishments rather than listing work history in strict date order. That suits Marissa because she has a 10-year gap in employment and can highlight transferable skills gained through work and other experiences. The correct choice is “Functional.”
