“They are a wonderful resource,” Rosemarie said. “They are professional. They are skillful. They are efficient. They listen to you."

During her one-hour interview, we determined how to style her resume and what skills to present.

After understanding Rosemarie’s aspirations and career transition objectives, we opted for a hybrid-style, skills-based resume. This strategic approach aimed to accentuate her continuing education and transferable skills before delving into her professional experience.

Before every interview, our resume writers examine the core skills outlined in the job postings each client provides us with. This analysis aligns our interview preparation and questioning toward these skill sets and how Rosemarie’s own expertise lined up, ensuring a targeted approach. The conversation flowed easily, highlighting Rosemarie’s diverse skill sets and qualities and their connection to the field of social support.

These skills included interpersonal communication, team collaboration, document management, program and project leadership, and health & safety prioritization, among others.

“I really enjoyed that session because it made me think of some of the skills that I didn’t realize I had that I could present,” Rosemarie explained.

After the interview, we began to develop the documents, ensuring all the relevant skills that we wanted to highlight were listed right up front for hiring managers to see.

Rosemarie was excited upon seeing the first drafts and how we had laid out her skill sets in relation to her new industry.

She felt her writer was insightful and a good listener, and that we helped her get the ideas and the person she wanted to present effectively onto paper.

“She was able to put things in a way that really gave my resume a lot of power, a lot of strength,” Rosemarie noted. “And I was very, very grateful for that becuase it’s not something I could’ve done myself.”

We went through a couple revisions, discussing details, answering formatting questions, and ensuring Rosemarie felt confident in the documents being produced.

Once she approved, we finalized Rosemarie’s documents, and she was ready to start the application process.

Rosemarie dove into her job search with high hopes and high nerves. A major career change is always scary. Yet, despite the inherent challenges, she navigated her way into a new industry just a few months after finalizing her documents, a testament to her determination and adaptability.

Since 2020, Rosemarie has returned to update her resume twice more, adding newfound skills and experience to her resume, and successfully landing new roles each time.

“The professional services that they provide I found were very efficient and it also makes you think about a lot of the skills you may not know you have,” Rosemarie exclaimed.

As we added more work experience within support work her resume evolved. Focusing less on the transferable skill sets and more on the direct experiences she’d had so far within the industry.

Based on her continued success, Rosemarie would recommend Resume Target for anyone looking to achieve their career goals, whatever they may be.

She even recommended the services to her sister, who is now in a new managerial position, which she got with the help of a Resume Target resume.
