Just write a good resume as of course you will using tips and suggestions found here at Resume Revelation. But, as you do so, keep in mind there are three areas to focus on:

1. Your objectives section gives you a chance to highlight some of those transferable skills right up front.
2. In your employment history, be sure to turn up the volume on the transferable skills that you can use to move into the new segment. Of course, you will also minimize skills and experience that do not apply.
