Resume format questions?
I'm rewriting my resume in order to find a new job, or at the very least a second job. The type of job I want is office related, clerical and admin type of work plus computer management. Most of my experience in that field would be from the several years I worked as a supervisor in a casino and a couple of years of unofficial volunteer work I did for extended family (now estranged family) in their business. It's been almost 5 years since I've done either type of work, but I was really good at it and I miss it. Now I want to get back to it with another company. Aside from the estranged family problem (which might be a reference issue), I also have the added difficulty that most of my jobs, including my current job of the past 4 years, is retail associate related.
How do I deal with these issues on my resume? Do I put the volunteer work down, or leave it off? Should I use functional or chronological order for my work history? If I use functional order, should I keep all the retail jobs "off" the resume (leaving my work history blank except for the one supervisor job)?

Functional resume tend to be used by people who are looking to steer attention away from something. This means that they are practically the calling card of someone who feels they have Cover Letter & Resume Format
