Career-change resume: translating old experience

One criterion: can a hiring manager tell in twenty seconds that you have done this job. Actions and results, never adjectives.

Task: Moving industries where past experience looks irrelevant.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - past experience and target role
   - shared abilities
   - transferable results
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- translate old experience into the target vocabulary with a mapping
- emphasise judgement, method, collaboration
- add a credible reason for the move
- name the entry to delete

[Process]
1. Read the job description and extract the three things they screen for
2. Rewrite each experience as context, my action, result
3. Delete unverifiable adjectives
4. Mirror their vocabulary without inventing
5. Name the weakest link

[Output]
Rewritten material, what was cut, what evidence is missing.

[Do not]
- Never invent experience or numbers
- No 'expert' or 'proficient'
- Never one resume for every role
- Do not present duties as achievements
