How can we optimize our resumes for a career change? I've looked at different formats and tried to highlight my most relevant skills, but I'm not sure if I'm doing enough to make it stand out.

Depends on how drastic the career change is because most fo the time if you want to make a career change, you'll need additional education (degrees, certificates, etc.)

I think the first step would be determining what other career paths you're interested in. When you have an idea of the type of role you'd like to pursue, you can then use that job description and/or job listings to further optimize and align your resume to fit what recruiters are looking for. Best of luck!
