Rewrite/update/re-work your resume to reflect your current career
objectives. Remember that your resume speaks volumes about you,
particularly if you're looking to shift gears into a new field in which
you have no directly applicable experience. Be sure to note your skills
and capabilities, the personal qualifications that you will bring to a
job rather than industry-specific experience. And, emphasize
transferable skills such as leadership, flexibility, teamwork, and
problem-solving. Also, be sure to highlight prior
measurable/demonstrable accomplishments.
Use your cover letter as an effective tool to shed light on why you
want to enter a new field. Quickly recap the research you've done to
prove that you're not making a rash decision. You need to illustrate
that you're committed to this change and that you can step in and
contribute to the company immediately.
Regardless of what you say and write, be professional at all times.
