Reword your experience for a new field
If you're changing fields, your past work has parts that carry over. The job is to describe those parts in the new field's words, truthfully.
Translate, don't invent
| You did | Honest wording for a new field |
|---|---|
| Ran weekly sales reports in Excel | Built weekly reports from sales data in Excel |
| Trained new store staff | Trained new staff on store procedures |
The rewrite keeps the facts, and uses plain verbs the new field also uses.
What to leave out
Leave out tools you haven't used and titles you didn't hold. If the post asks for something you're still learning, a course or project you actually completed is fair to list, labeled as that.
Use the checker
A big rewrite makes it easier to slip. Run the result through the invented-fact check before you send it.
