Career change resume example

Career-change resumes are screened for honest transfer: which past proof matches the new posting. A fake job history fails the first call.

How to structure the example

Lead with a target title and a short summary that names the bridge. Then reorder bullets toward the new job’s requirements without rewriting dates or employers.

Training and projects can support the bridge. They do not replace a role. Say what is coursework when it is coursework.

Questions

Should I use a functional resume?

Usually no for ATS. Keep chronology and change which bullets you emphasize for the target role.

Can I omit unrelated jobs?

You can shorten old unrelated roles. Do not create gaps you cannot explain or invent titles.
