A functional resume probably makes the most sense for this position, as it is a specific skill set.
But my thinking on going chronological was that it tells the story of how I got myself where I am.

The main thing for technical positions is to show that you can handle the stuff they have for you to do and learn the stuff that you don't already know.

My story is that I learned all of it from scratch, in just a few years. To be perfectly honest, I'm hoping to be hired on the basis of my ability to adapt and learn new things easily. For having the mental facility to be a problem-solver who welcomes new challenges. I may not have Experience, Education, and Honors, but I have proven that I am quick-witted and resourceful.
In a chronological resume, my job history becomes the main section; and my experience in each position tells a story of career growth, of how I got where I am. The few positions I've had become large sections, full of accomplishment. If I had to list my job history in a separate section, it doesn't look like much, and it doesn't go back very far.
I thought I might do a functional-type resume in three chronological sections. More of a narrative resume.
Is this a feasible idea?
