Career Changer Translator

If you're helping someone pivot careers, this translates their experience into the language of their target industry. It maps teaching terms to corporate L&D speak, military command to team leadership, retail to account management, that sort of thing. Comes with frameworks for identifying transferable skills, rewriting bullets for different contexts, and crafting the "why I'm changing careers" story that doesn't sound desperate. The translation tables are genuinely useful, like knowing "lesson plans" become "training curriculum" and "missions" become "projects." Best for anyone who needs to explain why their non-traditional background is actually an asset, not a liability.
