Resume and Cover Letter Tips for Career Changers - Career Tips - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. If you are considering transitioning to a new career, you need a completely different type of resume than what you would write if you were looking to continue in the same line of work that you have been in. What you need to do is look at your transferable skills and really highlight those in a resume. Consider doing a resume format that is both functional and chronological so that you show all of your functional skills that transition to the line of work that you want to go to before you start in on the career chronology because you want to demonstrate not that you could be a good fit for the type of work you want to do but that you actually already are. The more closely you align the resume to demonstrate your skills for the type of job you want, the more successful you are going to be.
