• Answer:

  I'm guessing that since this is your first job that you are applying for, you don't have any work experience. The type of resume that you want to build is called a "Functional Resume." Definition of a Functional Resume: Functional resumes are for job applicants in search of a new career or has a gap in between employment. A functional resume is more skills focused rather than where you’ve worked. Hiring managers are able to see all of the skills, accomplishments, and qualifications of the job applicant. In a functional resume, prior work history is not listed, which is good because since you do not have any work experience, showcasing your skills relevant to the position is your best chance to getting hired.
