Change of Career Resume
How to write a change of career resume / CV
Writing
a Curriculum Vitae (CV) / Resume for a major career change is a very
different proposition to normal CV / Resume writing.
The objective remains the same...
Compel the reader to invite you in for interview.
However
if your changing career direction, you won't have the luxury of recent
work experience that exactly fits the needs of the reader.
Yet
your CV / Resume will still have to compete for your readers attention
with all the others that do have more fitting experience.
This is a tough writing challenge, but one you can rise to if you follow the steps below.
Before
we start it's worth flagging that the industry stats for career change
show, that though many people want to change, most fail to follow
through, and take action.
Recruiters and employes know this and
will therefore be especially looking to ensure you have fully thought
out your career change plan, and have the required motivation and drive
to suceed.
Right let's start building your change of career resume
Firstly are you crystal clear and fully motivated about what your looking to do?
I know I wasn't when I made my major career change some 13 years ago.
I wish I had done better prep work...
