Question

When should you write a functional (skills) résumé?
a.
When you work history does not have obvious gaps.
b.
When you are making a career change.
c.
When your most recent job is similar to the one you are applying to.
d.
When you are applying to a very traditional company.

Answer 1

b. When you are making a career change.

A functional (skills-based) résumé highlights transferable skills rather than a chronological job history, so it's useful for career changers, people with gaps, or those whose recent jobs aren't directly related to the target role.
