Sample Functional Resume - Disappointing Performance at Current Job

Larry is currently a team leader at a marketing firm. On the last few projects his performance, as team leader, has been less than stellar. Larry developed a functional resume that allowed him to emphasize his achievements and work experience by impact rather than chronology. This allowed Larry to go back over his entire work history and focus on those times when he did have excellent job performance.
