I've spent years crafting the perfect accounting resume. It's packed with buzzwords like "GAAP compliance," "financial statement preparation," and "audit procedures." But now that I'm eyeing roles outside of accounting, I'm realizing it reads like a foreign language to anyone outside the field.

For example, instead of saying I "reconciled accounts," can I say I "identified and resolved discrepancies to ensure data accuracy"? Instead of "prepared monthly financial statements," can I say "analyzed and presented financial data to inform key business decisions"?

Any tips or tricks for "de-jargonizing" my resume and highlighting the transferable skills I've gained in accounting?

I started working for a bank and am going through the background check. They found an arrest which was dismissed and the file was sealed a few days after the check.

Embellished on several elements of the case. I am worried that giving them this report will cause me to be let go.
