Career Changer Resume Audit: Teacher to UX

Audit a career changer resume, such as teacher to UX, to check that transferable skills read as credible and not stretched.

Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Audit my resume for a move from teaching into UX design. Resume: [RESUME_TEXT]. Portfolio or course projects: [PROJECTS]. Job posting I am aiming at: [JOB_POSTING].

Test whether each teaching achievement is translated into the language of the target field without exaggeration, whether any skill claim lacks evidence, whether the summary explains the change in two sentences, and whether keywords from the posting appear naturally. Flag claims a recruiter would doubt, such as design experience that was really classroom resource creation.

Return a table with Section, Finding, Severity (red, amber, green) and Fix. Then give a before and after for my three strongest bullets and a list of questions an interviewer is likely to ask about each translated claim, so that I can check I can defend them.

Add a review of the skills section for honesty, listing each tool with a level and an example of use, and flag any tool I list but could not demonstrate in a task. Suggest a short project brief I could complete to create evidence for the weakest area.

Then simulate the screening of this resume by two readers: a recruiter with a keyword list and a design lead looking for evidence of process. For each reader, say what they will find, what they will miss and which sentence is most likely to make them stop. Compare the skills section with three job postings that I paste, and mark which required skills have evidence in my material, which have partial evidence and which have none. For gaps, suggest honest ways to create evidence within four weeks, such as a small case study with real users, a volunteer project or a redesign of an existing teaching resource, while warning me not to present exercises as paid work. Produce a short learning plan with weekly deliverables and the portfolio piece each would create, and a paragraph explaining my transition that I can reuse in a cover letter.
