Resume Gap Guide

It’s usually called a functional resume or skills-based resume. Instead of listing work experience in consecutive chronological order, it emphasizes your skills, accomplishments, and qualifications.

Other related terms include:

  • Combination resume — combines skills-based sections with chronological work history
  • Non-chronological resume — a general term for a resume that doesn’t primarily follow a timeline
  • Gap resume — sometimes used when addressing employment gaps directly
