The best CV format for career changers

You do not need to hide your past. You need to connect it to the work you want next.

Lead with your transferable value

Career changers often start with an apology for the pivot. Do the opposite: make the new direction explicit and show the skills that travel with you.

A short summary can name the target role, relevant strengths, and the kind of problems you already know how to solve.

Give projects equal weight

A focused project, volunteer role, or course can prove your new skills. Include the brief, your contribution, and the result. Link to the work when possible.
