I helped a friend move from 10 years of bartending to exec admin at a retirement planning firm. When building the resume, it’s helpful to look at the skills listed in the job rec and find a way to make your work history support the required experience. A lot of functions are, at the root, similar skill sets.

For my waitress friend we kept references to food service at a minimum but instead played up other aspects of her job that fit the new role like: calm under pressure, juggling multiple priorities, ensuring a high quality of service.

Is it wrong to apply for numerous jobs on Indeed, even if you don't have the experience required in hopes of someone seeing your resume and saying "This person doesn't have the skills for this job but I wonder if they would be interested in an entry level position in my company?"
