Career-change resumes win by translating past work into the vocabulary of the new field — not by hiding history. Lead with transferable outcomes.

Reframe, don’t erase

Keep chronology honest. Rewrite bullets so a hiring manager in the new field recognizes the skill (stakeholder management, analysis, delivery).

Bridge materials

Add projects, certifications, or volunteer work that prove the new direction. Tailor every application with JD-specific edits.
