Advice for someone trying to enter healthcare consulting from hospital work? My friend is a registered dietician working inpatient at a city hospital. Holds a masters degree and I feel like her industry knowledge would be useful to any project, but she doesn’t have the consulting “buzzword” experience to get past resume scanners.

You have to sell the SME experience and highlight any areas that would be transferrable to business - managing people, leading work activities, maintaining schedules, stakeholder coordination, etc. Add the buzzwords

She works with industry standard patient planning software products as a user and has great organizational skills with juggling multiple patient streams - feel like that should translate well but just can’t get an interview

No help other than keep applying or reach out and make a connection

I worked in a lab and ended up getting an MBA to actually get interviews. Even after that I still struggled to get past screening based on experience but going to the career fair and making one on one connections for me a job

Rewrite resume with buzzwords and refer.

My parents are set to retire soon and their primary financial concern seems to be losing what they've built up, specifically keeping a cabin in the family, due to potential nursing home or end of life expenses.

They've considered gifting or putting the cabin in a trust which seems like it may make more sense. Potentially losing step up in basis is not a concern as no plans to sell and their peace of mind is more important to me.

Is there anything else they should consider? LT care insurance?
