Resume Writing Tips

Flint -- I don't have a whole lot to add here to what everyone else has said, but the one question I have is how old are you? If you're "relatively" young, say 20-30, it's not too questionable to have periods of non-traditional employment in your chronology. If you're 50+ and have decades without a steady job, well, that's different.

I do like the idea of a functional resume for your situation.

Keep it short, exclude anything not directly relevant to the position you're applying for and write clear, simple English.
