The Career Pivot Resume

Philip Florence is a career transition coach, resume strategist, and former corporate recruiter who has spent more than fifteen years helping professionals change fields with confidence. Early in his career, he screened tens of thousands of resumes across technology, education, healthcare, and nonprofit organizations — and kept watching strong candidates get passed over not for lack of ability, but because their resumes spoke the language of their old industry. That pattern became the foundation of his coaching practice, which focuses exclusively on mid-career pivots: teachers moving into learning and development, retail managers into operations, analysts into product and data roles.

Philip's approach is straightforward: a pivot succeeds when a candidate translates what they have already done into the evidence, vocabulary, and results their new field rewards. He has guided more than eight hundred professionals through the transition from resume rewrite to signed offer, and his work has been featured in career columns, podcast interviews, and workforce development programs.

*The Career Pivot Resume* is his first book, written for anyone who has ever thought, "I have the skills — if only my resume showed it." It distills his resume reviews, coaching sessions, and the questions clients ask most into a single practical guide. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and two children, and is at his most persuasive in the margins of a client's "Selected Achievements" section.
