You may want to consider rewriting your resume, highlighting the value and benefit you can bring to a different industry. It is all about the DOING.

I have been working with a client who has an incredible resume of experience which has been heavily focused on customer service and sales. He was laid off in his industry before COVID- 19 and has not been able to find a job in the exact same field he was working in which was Pharma.

His skills are certainly transferable to another industry. In my coaching with him, I advised him to rewrite his entire resume that clearly articulates his experience and accomplishments in a way that makes him a very viable candidate for consideration in other industries who would still be looking for the same skills.

Remember this: It is all about the DOING. Highlight what you have been DOING to show it is a match for what the hiring company wants you to DO for them!

His resume now presents in a way that shows how his skills and accomplishments are applicable to a company looking for a person with a proven track record of success. It now shows they are a results oriented person.  Again, it is all about the DOING.

Shortly after consulting with this person, I came across this article written by fastcompany.com called How to Make Over Your Resume for an Unplanned Career Change. It provides great insight into the benefits of rewriting your resume.
