MaryBrighton, UK
I'm currently employed in the medical field. I have a bachelor's degree in pathology, but I want to change careers and begin working with children, i.e., case manager, advocate.
How do I construct my resume? Some of the classifieds don't require a degree in the social sciences but do require a degree of some sort. Should I include life experiences in my cover letter to make up for requirements I may be lacking? I have a strong science background, a four-year degree from a reputable university and awards for professionalism and academics. I'm a compassionate, hardworking person. Please help.
