Functional CV Example

This functional CV example will help you learn how to write a CV when you need to set out your CV under separate functional headings.

To improve your CV and get more interviews, you might want to take a look at Bradley CVs professional CV writing service.

Most employers and recruiters don't like functional CVs, as they have frequently been used in the past to hide a patchy or poor work history.

If you are a student or recent graduate then try our example student CV or the example graduate CV, before trying out a functional CV.

If you have been working for a number of years, then you may want to try out our example performance CV, before you try out a functional CV.

In a functional CV, you will need to use section headings that are appropriate to the functions that are relevant to the jobs that you will be applying for. You may also require additional section headings after the functional headings, depending on what else you need to include in your CV.

Before you consider using a functional CV, you should take a look at our article on selecting your CV format, as this type of CV is not normally appropriate for most people. CV writers can also help you determine if a functional CV would be best for you. As well as looking at this functional example CV below, please also see:
