It is always good to show your resume to someone else to get a second opinion or to make sure that there aren't any mistakes which you may have missed while looking it over. Well.... the only problem with that is that everyone has another opinion or a narrow view especially if one particular format which may or may not have worked for them. If you try to focus on skills there will definitely be someone who will say that employment or education is more important. If you use a functional format someone will definitely tell you to change the whole thing because chronological is better. By the end of it, rather than feeling a sense of clarity or relief, you feel worse because you are back at square one. At the end of the day you have to do what works for you- what you feel comfortable with. However, unless those calls start coming in........ comfort is the last thing any job hunter feels.
