Erica Said:

I have been teaching elementary school for 7 years and I feel that I am ready to change careers. Help?

We Answered:

Looks like you need a degree, or you can take a diploma/certificate program at a community college for a year if you already have a related degree.

For a career change, the best type of resume to use is a functional or combination style, rather than the typical chronological.

Although there are not huge similarities between teaching and paralegal work, you would be using your advising and assisting skills, and maintaining accurate records. Visit your local employment centre and talk to an employment counsellor there. They can advise you about updating your resume, and just in case you decide that paralegal work is not for you, they can administer an interest and aptitude test.

Good luck

I need help with resume?

We Answered:

In the interest, skills, community involvement, or even hobbies section of the resume. You can add sections to any resume template you might be using and decide which heading that would best fit under for your description of the work that you do.

I have two masters degrees but for the last eight years I worked in different field.How do write it on resume

Hi there, good question! If the job you are applying is more relevant to your education, then you might want to use a layout to highlight your education. However, if the job you are applying for more closely matches your current position, then you can focus more on your work background.

You have to be sure to cater your resume appropriately to the position you are applying for. Don't randomly send out resumes since employers tend to keep those resumes to the side quickly.
