A lot of people do functional resumes nowadays, but I only recommend that if you’re hiding major issues or time gaps.
Resumes should be brief & informative, bulleted, clean style.
Use narrow margins to get the most on a page. For really senior people a 2nd page might be necessary, but chances are no one is reading it. If they have a masters or higher, or went to an excellent school, put education before experience. If it’s a BA or lower, then keep it at the bottom (unless from Harvard etc.).
If you graduated more than 15 years ago, or less than 2, I don’t recommend putting a year on the degree. If you have any college or advanced degree remove high school (again unless it was Stuyvesant etc.).
