i want to change careers, from social work to teaching special education.How should I write a resume for a career change?
Write what is known as a %26quot;functional resume%26quot;.
So obviously put contact details first as usual.
Under that, put an %26quot;Objective%26quot; or %26quot;Personal Statement%26quot; outlining what area you'd like to move into and why, and why your past experience is relevant (make this brief - not more than four or five sentences).
Then put %26quot;Key Skills%26quot; (or something like that) and bullet point all experiences you've had that are particularly relevant to the jobs that you're applying to now.
Then list your work experience and education the way you normally would.How should I write a resume for a career change?
Focus on all of the educationl projects you have done, such as patient teaching, patient education, seminars taught, staff training, community health, special projects, working with disabled or homeless (special populations).
Aloha.How should I write a resume for a career change?
A Resume/CV must ONLY contain your educational and employment history.
If if contains a Personal Statement/Objective it will go STRAIGHT in the rubbish bin - regardless of how well qualified and/or experienced the applicant is.
