For when you know you’re ready for something different but have no idea how to explain your experience outside museums. This is best if you want a clear system you can apply on your own.

If you’ve been applying, rewriting, second-guessing, and wondering whether your museum work will ever make sense to anyone outside the field, this is your next step.

Inside the course, you’ll learn how to:

- Identify the transferable skills already embedded in your museum work

- Understand why your resume may not be getting traction outside the field

- Read job postings strategically so you know what employers are actually asking for

- Translate museum-specific language into clear, functional resume language

- Rewrite resume bullets so they show scope, impact, and relevance

- Complete the process manually or learn to use AI thoughtfully

- Customize your resume without rebuilding it from scratch every time

- Troubleshoot what might be happening if your applications still aren’t getting traction

What’s included:

- Full step-by-step course

- Resume translation framework

- Guided worksheets and exercises

- Manual + AI translation methods

- Museum jargon glossary

- Resume templates

- Full resume redo walkthrough

What you’ll walk away with

By the end of De-Museumify Your Resume, you won’t be guessing how to explain your museum experience anymore.

You’ll have a repeatable process for translating your work into resume language that makes sense outside the field without erasing what you’ve done, exaggerating your experience, or starting from scratch.

You’ll be able to look at a job posting and understand:

- What the employer is actually asking for

- Where your experience aligns

- What needs translation

- What your resume should emphasize

Because once you can explain your value clearly, you can apply with more confidence, more strategy, and less second-guessing.

The course teaches you how to translate your resume.

The toolkit helps you move faster.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t understanding what to do.

It’s sitting down to do it while staring at a blank page and thinking:

What should this resume look like?
What do I say in a networking message?
How do I talk about my experience in an interview?
What should a cover letter even sound like?

The toolkit gives you practical resources so you don’t have to start from scratch every time.

Best if you want the full system plus practical tools to help you apply faster and stop second-guessing every step.

Includes:

Resume Templates

Standard and 10+ years experience templates designed for career transitions.

Use these to structure your resume clearly and avoid templates that look pretty but don’t work well for ATS or hiring managers.

AI Prompt Library

Use AI as a tool not a replacement for your judgment.
