Say it with me now! I CAN write a powerful career change resume!

Most people don’t like writing a resume at the best of times.

But when you want to write a resume that will help you make a career change, the idea of writing that career change resume can stop you in your tracks and you can end up staying stuck.

Now, I’m not you and sitting in your brain space. But here’s what I suspect is going on there.

You’re thinking:

1) What skills do I have that are truly transferable?
2) Should I make a coffee?
3) How do my transferable skills make me a BETTER applicant than someone already doing the job?
4) When did I last call Mum?
5) What do I say to convince someone I’m really serious about making a change?
6) What did I say in that email?
7) Am I serious about making a change?
8) Wonder how many likes my insta post got?
9) What happens if I leave chunks of my experience out, will I get found out?
10) What’s for lunch?
11) How do I avoid going too far back in salary?
12) Did I turn the iron off?
13) Who’s going to pay me what I am worth?
14) Am I procrastinating?
15) Am I going to sound like I’m big noting myself if I say I am great at this?
16) Arrrgh all too hard, why would anyone hire me, what’s in the fridge?

So questions 2), 4), 6), 8), 10), 12), 14) and 16) are questions coming from your lizard brain and designed to help you procrastinate and keep you feeling safe.

That’s OK and perfectly normal.
But if some or all of this is you, here’s what I want you to do as a productive first step.

Watch my video on how to create a career change resume that creates a compelling case to hire you.

I don’t just tell you what to do.

I give you examples that have worked for my clients.

(If you like the video, please give it the thumbs up. It will help support my channel and I can continue to make more of these videos.)

I love writing these career change CV’s as they are an interesting challenge as we get to work out what to bring out that makes you stand out.

Clients find the process of writing the CV to be just as much a confidence booster as the CV itself.

You can use these CV’s to apply for advertised roles, of course.

But you will significantly boost your chances of success in making that career change if you also use the CV as a networking tool.
