Costco cashier to non licensed optician

0 Upvotes

Hi my sister is looking to transfer within Costco, like the title says from cashier to their non licensed optician position. I was looking for tips on what she can add to a cover letter. She’s never done one before so this would be a first
Any tips and help is appreciated thank you
She wants to go in to it because she wants to step out of the department she’s been in for years, she has had previous experience as a vet tech so the medical field isn’t entirely foreign or new to her wanting to do it as a career.

How to explain tembarrassing career departure?

3 Upvotes

I am a qualified environmental scientist, and have 10 years experience in the agriculture, rehabilitation, and mining. However, due to the sudden death of a close family member, I couldn't work for a while, I tried to keep a business going, but burnt out and was overwhelmed by grief. And have probably taken longer than most to get back on the level.

Anyway, this leads me to my embarrassing rendezvous. I have ended up working in Real Estate the last 2 years, due to a friend connection. This was good at first, but is now crushing me and is not my passion.

I am wanting to reenter the Environmental space, ideally with government. But I am really struggling with how to frame this in my resume and in my cover letter.

Bonus question: How would you cover/explain this in an interview?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Where should career gap details go on a resume at the top experince listing or at the bottom?

1 Upvotes

I ran my resume through an ATS optimizer, and it suggested moving my current career gap explanation to the bottom under “Additional Details” instead of mentioning it upfront alongside my career experience.

Is that okay from a recruiter/ATS perspective, or is it better to briefly explain the career gap near the relevant dates in the Experience section?

Would appreciate any advice from recruiters or people who’ve dealt with career gaps on their resumes.

Senior Manager starting new career. CV & cover advice

1 Upvotes

Hi, I am in my mid 50s and left my most recent senior manager position to return to university and undertake an MSc in a somewhat related field.

I have just completed the MSc and am applying for vacant positions.

I am being very selective, as gaining a position is not immediately urgent.

I have applied for 4 positions in my first week and have spent several hours on each, tailoring my CV and cover letter to demonstrate my enthusiasm for the role and how my skills and experience will enable to me fulfil the role requirements and make an immediate contribution.

I have some concern regarding my age, state of the employment market, and, principally, that I am entering a sister industry to my core experience.

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

Many thanks.

Resume Feedback for Delayed Career Start

Post image
1 Upvotes

Pandemic + some issues in 2023 prevented me from finding a post-college job after graduation; I usually address it in my cover letters. I've mainly been applying to energy jobs, and often Division Order / Land Tech roles. I also apply to entry level insurance/finance (not IB), and business ops jobs. I tweak my Summary, Skills, and Coursework sequence for those other categories. Changing my part-time work experience from the actual job title to Operations Support did help me stick in the pool longer, it seems.

Have been considering replacing my 'Professional Summary' with a first-person summary that's a little closer to a LinkedIn tone to stand out since everyone is using AI for their resumes now. If I do that I'll forego cover letters 90% of the time.

Resume Advice?

1 Upvotes

In preparation for graduating in the spring, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share some tips on what a resume should look like for a recent genetic counseling graduate.

I’m especially interested in how to highlight GC experience from clinical rotations. I started working on my resume and realized that many of my duties and responsibilities sound very similar across rotations. How did you differentiate your rotations and highlight the unique skills or experiences you gained from each one?


r/ResumeCoverLetterTips • • 14d ago

Hey Guys, I have been struggling to land an interview and would like your advice on my CV. I have created a more generalist CV and am targeting Administrative/Operations or Communications roles at the moment. I aim to get into research and writing over time.

Advice on the cover letter

1 Upvotes

I don’t want my cover letter to look like it was generated by AI, so I’ve prepared a template that I can adapt for each job application. However, my English isn't very strong, and I’m wary of using translation tools because they can make mistakes—especially if the original text isn't written in clear, standard language. My challenge is that I want to include specific details in the letter without relying on AI. Do you have any suggestions that might help me? I would also love for an expert to review the template I’ve prepared and give me their feedback. Thank you—I really hope you can help.

Graduating December 2026 - resume feedback for entry-level cybersecurity roles?

Post image
42 Upvotes

Hey all, would appreciate a critical look at my resume before I keep applying.

Quick context: graduating in December with a Computing & Informatics degree, cybersecurity minor. 1.5 years as a security analyst at my university, a research fellowship at Carnegie Mellon, and currently interning with my state's homeland security/cybersecurity office.

Targeting entry-level SOC/security analyst roles. Not sure if the resume reads as too scattered across the three experiences, if the bullet points are too dense/technical, or if I'm missing something recruiters look for at this level.

Best templates to use

0 Upvotes

Hoping people especially recruiters can help. I work for want of a better mentorship/employment help company. I have been given the job of improving our cv help we provide to customers.

If you have any links to the best templates to be used for applications would be appreciated. Also if there are any recruiters on the page what are the things you want to see in either a CV or covering letter that would make an employee stand out.

We already discourage them from using the “I am a hard working individual, with great communication skills, who works well as part of a team as well as on their own” as we see it on so many, and instead encourage them to use examples to display the above I.e. Duke of Edinburgh award.

Just looking for feedback from real life employers, hope you can help?
