Frequently asked questions

How do I make my resume work for a career change?

Lead with transferable skills and outcomes rather than job titles from the old field — a recruiter should be able to see the relevance in the first few lines, not have to infer it.

Do I need to explain a career change in my resume?

A one-line summary at the top explaining the direction you're headed does more work than leaving a recruiter to guess why your experience doesn't match the job title you're applying for.
