I decided to make a career change but I am having difficulties landing a job interview. I had a fair amount of responses with my resume in the previous industry (because of the job experiences).

Any strategies to market ourselves when doing a career change so we can at least land a decent job interview?

After many many years in Information Technology, I’ve burned out. The dilemma: I’m looking for a completely new career away from IT, while making a lateral salary transfer from the beginning of my new career. For many various reasons, I need/want something close to the same salary. As I’ve taken many many years to get here, my income has been complimentary to my experience. I’ve found myself in big trouble, as I’ve focused my skills entirely into IT and my resume is not “sellable” outside of IT. I’m in a rut and I think the only way out is to take a substantial pay cut.

internships
well… asked:


My work history is kind of scattered,and I am not sure how to put it on a resume. I’ve been working as a freelance photographer for 3 years, had 3 internships prior to that, and was a photo editor before I began interning.
Should I list the internships separately, or should I put everything under “experience” and list the positions as “intern”?

Thank you!

I am a college student and want to have a great resume to show future employers. However, I’ve had the same job for 5 years so my resume looks very sparse. Even with the other activities and skills I’ve gotten in school it is still less than a page. What other stuff can I do to it to make it seem more impressive?
