Career Change Tips for Functional Resume:

  • Highlight valuable experiences

Remember your projects that allowed you to develop transferable skills — including related education, training, and volunteer work. If your previous professional experience has little application this career switch, you may be able to make up for it by emphasizing work done outside of office hours.

  • Don’t fear the qualification gaps.

If you don’t have related professional background, there will be qualification gaps. However, keep in mind that few job candidates meet 100% of every single desired qualification. Many employers would rather hire someone who’s a 70-80% fit, but has a big enthusiasm and willingness to learn.
