A post for anyone stuck trying to write a resume for their post Covid career change right now.

If you’re like me, this past year has left you reflecting on what’s next for you. You may be asking whether what you had before in your career is what you want to take into the future.

I feel blessed to be among the few who genuinely enjoy what I do – and can do it at my own pace. But I do know that’s not what many of my clients are feeling.

Working from home minus the commute (and all the travel) has left so many people not wanting to return to what they had before. Being unable to see loved ones has left many of us really cherishing the relationships we have, and wanting to invest quality time in them. The demands of high powered executive roles are often not compatible with that.

You too might have decided a career change is in order. But you don’t know how to get started writing your resume.

I’m not going to kid you and say it’s an easy thing to do.

Writing a good resume can be tough at the best of times.

But writing a resume to pitch yourself for a new career is even tougher.

You’ll also get a lot of bad advice on the internet around “highlighting your transferable skills.” These can be really tricky to identify if you don’t know what employers truly value.

 

The good news is, you don’t have to stay stuck.

I have recorded a video to take some of the pain away from writing your career change resume.

I have written hundreds of resumes collaboratively with my clients, helping them market themselves for a new career.

Recently these have included small business owners wanting to enter the public sector, Graduates wanting to pitch for work in a start-up, Academics wanting to work as Project Engineers, Event Managers wanting to become Change Managers, and Teachers who were wanting to become Researchers.

I also have a free download of career change resumes examples showing you how it can be done in practicality.

I sincerely hope you find these resources both empowering and useful.
