Resumes for Career Changers

"Within 24 hours of utilizing the resume which you supplied, I have received 2 job offers and 1 proposed interview...My career search has lasted well over a year without any type of formal or informal reply by potential employers. These results speak volumes in regards to your insight, professional outlook, and products offered...To have such an impact in today's fiercely competitive job market is absolutely phenomenal." -J.J.
The challenge this job seeker faced was his goal to make a major career change, from data analysis in the military to private-sector IT work. While his existing resume provided ample information on his background and military accomplishments, it needed major reworking to position him for his new job target. We condensed non-relevant information and expanded sections on his IT training and experience. In addition, we reorganized the presentation of information to give top billing to the most significant items.

Jumping to a new career track is often a savvy move in terms of long-term career progression. But it certainly creates challenges. A professionally written, re-targeted resume from RedRocketResume can help open doors to a great new career direction.
