A CV guide for career changers
Changing careers is hard enough without a CV that hides what you can do. Make Your CV Sound Like You is a practical CV guide for career changers, and for anyone who has sent their CV out for months and heard nothing back.
I wrote it after rewriting my own CV, when I moved from four years in sales and customer service into full-time copywriting. My experience didn't change. The way I described it did. This kit shows you how to do the same with yours.
What you'll learn
- How to find the transferable skills in your old job and describe them for a new field
- How to replace generic CV phrases like "results-driven" and "team player" with real proof
- How to write a one-line career change summary for the top of your CV
- How to tailor your CV to a job advert in about 15 minutes
- How to use AI tools like ChatGPT on your CV without it sounding like everyone else's
- How to format an ATS-friendly CV that applicant tracking software can read
Who it's for
Career changers moving into a new field, graduates and job seekers who aren't getting interviews, and anyone who isn't sure what to put on their CV. It works whether you're applying in Africa, the UK, the US or Canada. In the US and Canada, use it as your career change résumé guide.
