How To Return After You Quit

If you are juggling several careers on your resume, try a functional resume over a chronological resume says Crawford. “Don’t worry about the chronological order, instead make your resume functional and organize it by categories and experiences,” says Crawford. “On my resume I’d list my experience coaching and running my own business first and then have another category that shows my administrative, managerial experience, and other stuff that isn’t coaching related.” Make sure to put the experience that is most related to your next job first and relook at what might be a transferrable skill to highlight says Crawford. “Just because you didn’t work in advertising before doesn’t mean you don’t have excellent organizational skills and aren’t a good manager. You can multitask and handle projects.”

Not to mention cashing in on those Law & Order royalties too.
