What makes it work

  • A summary that explains the move in one or two lines
  • Skills and new training near the top
  • Past roles described in terms the new field understands

Keeping it readable for software

An ATS (applicant tracking system, the software many employers use to store, search and filter resumes) reads your resume before a person does. Use the new field’s standard words where they truly describe your work, so a search for those skills finds your resume.
