Career change resume with no direct experience: the bridge bullet method

Pivot posts on Reddit share one fear: *I don't have direct experience.* You have **transferable proof**—you need translation, not fabrication.

**The bridge bullet method** 1. Name the target domain vocabulary from the JD. 2. Find adjacent work in your history (workflows, scale, stakeholders). 3. Rewrite bullets as outcomes in the new domain's language. 4. Prepare for gotcha questions where the gap is real—acknowledge and redirect to strength.

**Example pattern** Insurance policy admin → "Translated regulated document workflows into searchable knowledge bases serving 500+ agents" reads differently than "worked in insurance."

Study packs and mock interviews should use the same bridge stories so spoken answers match written claims.
