Resume Tips When Changing Careers

Changing careers can be challenging.

Before you make the change, understand what is sparking the change.

Let's review the 4 main types of resumes:

1. Chronological resume
   
2. Functional resume
   
3. Combination resume
   
4. Job specific / targeted resume
   

When changing careers we want to combine 3 and 4.

Combining the combination resume while targeting specific roles because recruiters will still want to know your work history.

Make sure you also highlight your education/certificates/training as it relates to the new career you're looking to move into.

When making a change try and talk to people who has made your particular career change. Also try and talk to people who hire the roles you're looking to get.

As you might know, I'm not sure huge on cover letters however a great cover letter is going to be key when changing careers.
