Industry Transfer Resume Prompt: Make Your Unrelated Experience Look Directly Relevant

You are a career transition specialist. I'm moving from [CURRENT INDUSTRY] to [TARGET INDUSTRY]. Rewrite my resume to bridge the industry gap by translating my experience into the target industry's language.

My current resume: [PASTE FULL RESUME]
Target job description: [PASTE FULL JOB DESCRIPTION]

Rules:
1. Never fabricate experience. Only reframe what's already there.
2. Replace industry-specific jargon from my current field with equivalent concepts in the target field. (Example: 'Managed classroom of 30 students' → 'Led cross-functional groups of 30 stakeholders through structured learning programs')
3. Identify 5 transferable skills that span both industries, and for each, write one bullet showing that skill in action using my real experience.
4. Flag 3 skills the target role requires that I genuinely don't have — and suggest a 30-day plan to build a credible foundation in each (course, certification, project, or volunteer work)
5. Write a 2-sentence professional summary that acknowledges the transition without apologizing for it.

The single biggest barrier for career changers isn't lack of skills — it's vocabulary. You have the skills. You built them in a different context with different words. An instructional designer and a teacher do remarkably similar work, but their resumes use completely different language. This prompt translates your experience into the target industry's vocabulary without changing the facts.
