First and foremost, I commend you, Rima, for switching out of a normal routine to something completely different. It is always scary to change the environment you've been so used to, but it clearly shows and stands out that you're ready for something new. I'm excited for you! Here are some of my recommendations: - For your resume, I recommend including a cover letter. A cover letter really allows you to address the employer personally and it goes a long way when they see that you're willing to extend supplemental reasoning for why you're the one to choose. - I would also include recommendation letters. If you have the contact information, I would reach out to the past assignments you've completed for a recommendation letter to include in the resume as well. That will help. You can also receive recommendation letters on LinkedIn and that's great because potential employers can quickly see them! - I would highlight your most recent temp assignments, but ensure that they are also the most relevant to the positions you're applying for. I made a switch in career paths from Respiratory Therapist to Human Resources and while I kept my respiratory therapy intern positions on my resume in the beginning, as I continued my growth into the HR field, I removed the intern positions and only highlighted HR positions. Employers want to see what relevancy you have that can be transferred to the role they're seeking. - For your LinkedIn, invest time in your Headline (part of the Intro section). The headline is the first line located under your name that people immediately see. You want to ensure it captures their attention so something like "5+ years Experienced Senior HR Professional Seeking Employment". Because it's your headline, it's normally a quick, creative, eye-capturing one-liner. Difficult, but necessary to grab at a quick attention. Hopefully this helps and good luck!
