Now I have the wonderful experience of updating my résumé or at least resume the résumé writing process, specifically targeted for a job within my scope of education.
The main challenge I see with this is getting the correct and relevant information on the paper. Someone outside retail sales, specifically outside of the grocery industry, may not see the value of someone who can run a department on a budget of about $1.2 million in sales per quarter with a margin of 21% while keeping labor below 7%. However, some of my skills at my current job are in fact transferable! Experience in writing budgets, meeting goals and deadlines, managing 16 employees, controlling inventory, working in a team environment. Those skills may have application in something soil science related.
The main thing for this résumé is what I have done in school, classes I have taken, the paper I got published (check it out), working in Janis Boettinger's soil genesis lab, etc. I think these things may be more relevant to someone looking for a soil scientist.
Now I just need to get it together on a couple pages!
