Your CV particularly represents an important tool when considering a position in a related field. For example, if you currently work in the oil and gas industry, you may want to consider making the switch to obtaining a position in renewable energy.
To prepare for such a career change and make sure your CV reflects your readiness, you'll first need to determine what type of position you want. You will then need to prepare by honing your skills and education. High-level jobs in renewable energy jobs such as solar project management, energy consultant, or wind farm developer often require experience or qualifications in related fields such as Environmental Science, Environmental Management, or Renewable Energy.
Making a change in your career can be very exciting, especially if you have a plan in place to help you make the transition.
