Are you...
-
Realizing that writing your own resume is just REALLY HARD to do?
-
Finding out that you CANNOT write your own resume because you don't know what to say about yourself?
-
Unsure when to stop talking about yourself, and how to actually put it all in your resume?
-
Just not sure how to showcase your experience and skills for your next big job opportunity?
​
Well, you are NOT alone. These are the problems I hear daily from my clients. You are not meant to write your own resume. A professional resume writer is. And that's why I want to help alleviate you from this stressful task.
How to Write a Resume to Pivot from One Career to Another
Transitioning from one career to another requires a strategic approach to resume writing. Here are steps to help you write a resume that effectively positions you for a career pivot:
-
Research Your Target Industry: Understand the requirements, skills, and qualifications necessary for the new career. Research job postings, industry trends, and networking contacts to gain insights into the field.
-
Identify Transferable Skills: Review your current skills and experiences to identify transferable skills relevant to the new career. These may include soft skills like communication, leadership, and problem-solving, as well as technical skills that can be applied across industries.
-
Tailor Your Resume for Each Job: Customize your resume for each job application by highlighting the most relevant skills and experiences that align with the requirements of the new career. Use keywords and phrases from the job description to demonstrate your fit for the role.
-
Focus on Achievements and Results: Instead of only listing job duties, emphasize your achievements and contributions in your previous roles. Use quantifiable metrics and specific examples to demonstrate your impact and results, even if they are from a different industry.
-
Highlight Relevant Education and Training: If you've pursued any relevant education, certifications, or training programs related to the new career, be sure to highlight them on your resume. This shows your commitment to learning and developing new skills.
-
Consider a Functional Resume Format: If you have limited direct experience in the new field but possess transferable skills, consider using a functional resume format. This format allows you to focus on your skills and achievements, rather than a chronological list of jobs.
-
Include a Skills Section: Create a separate section on your resume to list your key skills and competencies that are relevant to the new career. This helps recruiters quickly identify your strengths and qualifications, even if they are not directly related to your previous job titles.
-
Showcase Relevant Experience: While you may not have direct experience in the new career, highlight any experiences that demonstrate your ability to excel in the role. This could include relevant projects, volunteer work, freelance gigs, or transferrable skills gained from non-professional experiences.
-
Write a Cover Letter: Your resume is a more formal document when you apply for a job. A cover letter is a more informal document used to introduce yourself. So, this is where you can explain the desire for your career change and why applying to this job makes sense in the process.
By following these steps and effectively highlighting your transferable skills, relevant experiences, and enthusiasm for the new career, you can create a resume that positions you for a successful career pivot.
My Mission
We all have our reasons for entering, or re-entering, the workforce. And we all have a drive. Your drive could be based on financial situations, personal fulfillment, professional advancement, or something else. Whatever your reason, your personal marketing documents need to mirror your achievements, skills, professionalism, experiences, needs, wants, and passions.
Work with me so I can help you rewrite your story. Show companies your strengths, your skills, and your experiences in the best light possible. Give yourself a fighting chance to get past those pesky applicant tracking systems and get in front of a real person. Get that interview!
​
There is something to be said about people who have a true, valued passion when it comes to their careers. Not many of us can say (as a child) that we knew exactly what we wanted to be when we grew up. And even if we thought we knew, more than likely it changed, more than once. And that's fine. As you get older, your passions change, your ideas change, and your visions change. It's just a natural thing. And with those, your career goals change. But not everybody understands how to put those changes on paper. That's where I want to help you!
​
Use your resume to show people who you are, what you know, what you can do, what you're willing to learn, how far you're willing to go, and where you want to be. It's your career. It's your story. Now tell it.

"Thanks to Elizabeth Debol rewriting my resume, I got the job!
Like many others, I was applying to countless positions I was seemingly qualified for but not receiving interviews or any feedback as to why. Elizabeth reached out to me and offered to rewrite my resume to increase my chances of being selected for an interview. After a phone conversation where we discussed what fields of work I was interested in, my skill sets and what I was hoping to accomplish in my new position, Elizabeth got to work.
Within 2 days I had a brand new resume that looked great and was specifically tailored for my career interests. I started applying for jobs the day I received my new resume and had 3 interviews lined up within 1 month, whereas I had 1 interview in 5 months with my previous resume.
Ultimately my new resume increased my number of interviews and got me hired! If you’re looking for an affordable, efficient and effective way to upgrade your resume, I would highly recommend utilizing the expert services of Elizabeth Debol!"

"Before I hired Elizabeth I interviewed a fair amount of professional resume writers. I am happy with my decision to hire her as she helped me rewrite my Product Owner resume. She was easy to work with and didn't expect much from me. In short, she's really good at what she does - just let her do her thing and support her as needed. I was really happy with the results she provided me - my looked visually appealing, was way easier to read, and was also much better for the ATS / AI programs out there. I feel really confident when sending out my resume. I highly recommend Elizabeth's services."
