The Challenge

After nearly three decades in the same role, Patrick was looking to move into a new industry—specifically labor relations and union negotiations. But he feared getting lost in the shuffle, that he would miss highlighting key skills and would be eliminated from future candidate pools as a result.

Despite having some relevant experience in union and labor relations and many transferable skills, Patrick was having trouble communicating his accomplishments and experiences effectively onto paper.

He wanted his resume to demonstrate to potential employers that his earlier career had been instrumental in equipping him for success in a future role, despite not having formal employment in the industry.

Patrick researched various professional resume writing services and decided to call Resume Target. After speaking with one of our Resume Advisors and reading our online reviews, he was confident in Resume Target's experience and industry knowledge.

How Our Resume Writers Transformed Patrick's Resume

Given the move Patrick was looking to make, we wanted to ensure there was equal focus on his 9-1-1 dispatcher role and his union experience. In particular, he wanted to highlight the connection between the two.

We started our interview by delving into his work experience and the critical responsibilities he held. We identified key skills pertinent to both his current position and the labor relations role he aspired towards—team leadership, effective communication, regulatory knowledge, interpersonal relationship management, and strategic problem-solving.

When addressing his union experience, our focus was on showcasing Patrick's continuous involvement and career progression. Rather than just outlining responsibilities, we delved into significant accomplishments, highlighting specific metrics, initiatives, and processes where Patrick played a pivotal role.

Finally, we ensured that the documents were optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), incorporating relevant keywords to enhance searchability.
