[humanser] TIMING

Sun Dec 2 02:35:57 UTC 2018

Ericka,
I have been told the functional resume works better for me. There are more volunteer experiences in my life than paid ones, and some of them contribute to skills in counseling and working with children, for example, so if the skills are relevant to what I am applying for, I include the volunteer work. I don't put what has been voluntary; just list name of agency and what I did. I would probably list something I did years back if relevant to what I want to do now.

Best,

Best,

Sandy

I have lots of volunteer experience that fills in the gap‘s where I didn’t work so to meet a functional resume would hide the fact that I haven’t worked since 2010 at least. Four pair anyhow.

What I’m confused about is that yes it makes sense that something I did 20 years ago probably isn’t current which would make it less relevant but how do you just leave off an experience that might sure you have skills? It’s been years since I’ve taken education class but if I wanted to work with children rather than the senior citizens I mostly worked with wouldn’t this be advantageous for me? Just as advantageous as teaching Sunday school? I understand that every application and every resume hast to be tied to the particular job you’re applying for. But I’m just trying to get something generic with all my expenses together so creating these specialize resumes will be easier. If I do it in the right format to begin with, then it’s just a cut and paste  job. IVR counselor, my help her from the epilepsy foundation who is a career counselor skilled person, and I disagree.
