Career Change CV & Cover Letter Writing Service

Writing Your Career Change CV

A career change CV is a very specific tool, which you may need if you are not only changing jobs, but going into something completely different from what you have been doing. For example, if after starting out in your working life, you've just been 'doing a job' but now there is something different thats really got your interest, you're going to need a special type of CV that focuses on your skills, rather than your history.

This means that a career change CV is quite unlike a 'normal' CV so you must approach it's creation differently to make sure that this new style CV is up to the job of getting you to an interview.

Because the aim of this document is very different from that of a normal chronological CV, in other words the aim is to help you move into a different career, then the recent career history becomes less important than the skills you developed.

These skills must be presented in a way that supports your career change objective, so starting at the top.

Thinking about a career change often throws up all sorts of ideas about doing something completely different. But what does it mean and what will your ideal role look like? To write an effective career change CV you must be able to describe the job you want in terms of the level of responsibility you want; the amount of influence; strategic input; work structure; internal/ external contact; reward and recognition; status; pace and pressure that make for a satisfying and challenging job role.

You also need to consider the job location, whether it will be permanent or contract and issues of work / life balance. How do family, school or spouse career issues affect you? What organizational culture suits you best?

When you’ve defined your ideal role with as many dimensions as possible, you’ll always have something to help you define which of your skills are most appropriate. When you are changing your career, this type of benchmarking helps you to avoid including details and information which is irrelevant and not helpful to your career change.

This Is How I Can Help You

I will create a targeted, job-specific career objective statement. This is a clear statement of intent, that spells out exactly what job you are pursuing. This way there is no confusion about what you want to do from the start of the CV.

Then I will add a skills section. This is usually a short bulleted list that helps hiring managers quickly see that you have the requisite skills for the job. Included are only those skills that are directly relevant to the new job and anything unrelated is left out, keeping your document tightly focused.

Now I write your personal profile summary, focusing clearly on the skills and qualifications that are required for the new job.

Many jobs, although different on the surface, have similar skills requirements and these core skills are also your most transferable skills. For example: communication skills, project management skills, customer service delivery, and organizational skills would apply to so many jobs. We will always aim to provide hard evidence to substantiate the skills claimed by quantifying your career change CV with real results wherever possible.

All the emphasis falls on your skills which make you a suitable candidate; naturally your employment history, education and personal information are included but in a secondary role on the finished career change CV document.

Career Change Cover Letter

As good as your career change resume may be, the other part of the equation is having a great cover letter to go with it. Some hiring managers put more emphasis on the letter and what that tells them about you so you must make sure that your career change cover letter is really effective too.
