What you'll learn

Extract Your Real Skill Set From Your Resume

Move past job titles to uncover the underlying capabilities your experience actually proves.

Build a Vocabulary Map Using AI and Target JDs

Use target job descriptions and AI to translate your skills into your new vertical's language.

Apply Your Skills Library to Resumes and Outreach

Apply your vocabulary map to your LinkedIn profile, cover letters, and networking conversations.

Prove the Transfer Already Happened

Turn a gap-and-bridge story from your own history into a one-paragraph proof of concept.

Why this topic matters

Most career changers lose opportunities not because they lack skills, but because their resume speaks the wrong language. Hiring managers won't translate your experience for you. This lesson gives you a repeatable process to extract what you know, rename it for a new audience, and back it up with evidence.

You'll learn from

Nalini George

Fractional CPO. MIT + UC Santa Barbara PhD

Nalini is a seasoned product leader with 15+ years of experience across a breadth of industries and titles, from polymers to climate tech. She has crossed more vertical lines than most product leaders: research scientist, R&D manager, sensor strategist, PM, and CPO. Most recently she served as Head of Product at Planet FWD, and today works as a fractional CPO for early to growth stage startups. Each transition in her career required the same skill: translating what she already knew into language a new industry could act on. Having been hired by startups, growth-stage companies, and Fortune 500 enterprises alike, she understands how each one thinks about talent and uses that knowledge to shape her own journey.
