How do I highlight transferable skills?▼
Use the Summary section for your narrative, Skills section categorized by "Transferable" vs "Technical", and Projects to show applied skills.
Should I use a functional or chronological format?▼
Hybrid works best. Jake's and Modern support both — lead with Summary + Skills, then Experience with relevant highlights.
Can I de-emphasize unrelated past roles?▼
Yes. In Experience, keep unrelated roles brief (1-2 bullets) and expand relevant projects. Minimal style is clean for this.
Is there a template for bootcamp grads?▼
Modern style works well — prominent Projects section for capstone, Skills for stack, Education for bootcamp + prior degree.
