Tom Marvolo Riddle (a.k.a. Voldemort)

How Lynda F., a TopResume writer, helped He Who Must Not Be Named:

"Tom was eager to redeem himself after some failed leadership roles. He recently went back to school to get a degree in education and is seeking to move into a classroom setting. I used a career change resume format to showcase Tom's abilities and demonstrate how they could be leveraged in a new role."

If you're considering a career change, take a page from Voldemort's spell book. Consider investing in a course, degree, or certification program to help fill a skill gap and make you a more attractive candidate to prospective employers.
