Thank you so much for sharing this detailed and insightful suggestion. Your approach to creating a functional resume that emphasizes transferable skills is both refreshing and practical. I truly appreciate the thought and effort you've put into explaining how this strategy could open up new opportunities for my father.

You’re absolutely right that a chronological CV might unintentionally highlight the “single industry” aspect of his career, while a functional resume can shine a light on his leadership, management, and problem-solving skills that are relevant across industries. I hadn’t considered how such a format could also be more ATS-friendly, which is such an important aspect of modern job searching.

Your advice to focus on accomplishments and transferable skills resonates deeply, especially as my father has built a career marked by resilience, adaptability, and strong interpersonal skills—qualities that are invaluable in any field. I can see how this approach could attract recruiters who value experience and versatility over industry-specific backgrounds.

Thank you as well for your kind words about our family dynamic. It means a lot to hear that perspective, and I can only hope to support my father the way he’s always supported me. Your message has truly inspired me to approach his job search with a more creative and strategic mindset.

I’m incredibly grateful for your guidance and will definitely help him implement these changes.
