Career Change Resume Writing–

Many people want to change careers. It's challenging to write a career change resume. You have to recognize the skills and expertise needed in the new position while analyzing your past skills and expertise. You want the skills to transfer to the new area. You might know you can do the new job, but how can you convince the hiring officials and personnel that you have the qualifications and know-how to do the new job?

Our resume writers can help you with your career change objectives by writing a resume designed for career change. If you are trying to move from teaching to information technology…or CAD Operator to information technology administrator…or program analyst to human resources specialist, you will have to write about your training, skills, and interests in the old field as they will apply to the new field.

It's a writing, thinking, research and packaging challenge. We're good at these resumes. Kathryn Troutman, Director, has specialized in career change resumes for the entire length of the Resume Place history. People want to change careers on average every 10 years – we know how to move you from one field to another (within reason).

Here's a description of how our Resume Writing Team can help you compete better and faster with a competitive career change resume:

Federal Employees Seeking a Career Change:

• Our resume writing experts will analyze your current resume, SF-171 or OF-612 and look for the skills and experience that will support your new objective.
• We will design the new resume in creative, yet professional and conservative formats so that the relevant skills, training and experience are more prevalent than the non-relevant skills.
• We will write with language in the resume that is appropriate for the new industry. We will research keywords and core competencies for the new career and integrate this language into the new resume.
• We'll make sure that the new resume is clear, stands out and demonstrates that you have the interest, skills and experience to perform the new position. The reader won't have to "look" for the skills that support the objective. Page one of the resume will be the transition page - with all of the relevant skills and experience.

Private Industry Applicants Seeking Federal Jobs:

• Just moving from private industry to Federal is a career change. Everything we write in your resume will be with a career and industry change in mind. If you've been working in the corporate world, we'll use language of your industry that will match language in government. If you've been with a small business, we'll use language that will transition and we'll leave the small business terminology out.
• We'll research keywords from announcements and your position descriptions that will match you to the position and grade you've selected.
• We'll make sure that the format is correct for the vacancy announcement and agency. We'll add content to the resume so that the transition from private industry to government is honest, clear and written so that the resume will be successful in a DATABASE SEARCH.
• We'll advise you on the best way to apply for on-line jobs and/or with paper applications.
• We have many years of experience helping private industry people navigate the federal job process. We know how to analyze announcements and demonstrate that you can perform a federal job.
