Most people switching careers just list their old job duties and hope recruiters "see the potential." They don't.

Here's what actually works:

Lead with transferable outcomes, not job titles. If you managed a team of 12 in retail and you're moving into project management — your CV shouldn't say "Store Manager." It should say "Led cross-functional team of 12, delivering £2M+ in quarterly targets."

Kill the objective statement. Replace it with a 3-line professional summary that positions you for where you're going, not where you've been.

Restructure your experience section. Group achievements by skill category (leadership, operations, stakeholder management) instead of chronological job blocks. This instantly reframes your background.

Optimize for ATS. 75% of CVs get filtered out by applicant tracking systems before a human ever sees them. Use the exact keywords from the job description — not synonyms.

I've helped hundreds of professionals make this pivot successfully. If your CV isn't landing interviews, it's not your experience that's the problem — it's the presentation.
