Career Change
A career change moves your work toward a different role, function, or industry and requires evidence that connects prior experience to the new target.
A career change is a move into a meaningfully different role, function, industry, or professional direction. The size of the change depends on context.
Moving from retail management to customer success may require translating existing customer and team leadership evidence, while moving into nursing requires new formal qualifications; a career-change application should connect capabilities you have already demonstrated, qualifications the new field requires, and recent evidence that you understand the target work. A career change is different from a promotion; a promotion increases responsibility or level within a related path, while a career change alters the kind or context of the work. Some moves involve both; use Transferable Skills to name capabilities that cross roles, then use the resume summary guide to frame the transition without hiding your actual background.
For example, an operations coordinator moving into project management can connect scheduling, risk tracking, and stakeholder communication to the new role.
