Changing fields

“None of this counts, it’s not that job.”

Your CV is written in one field's words and the advert is asking in another's. The work underneath might already answer it - the problem is nobody has read the two side by side.

The rejection reads as a verdict on the move itself

Three applications, nothing back. It is easy to read that as the field itself closing the door - as though moving from teaching into edtech operations, or retail into logistics, needs a different person rather than a different way of telling the same career.

Most of the time nobody has actually judged the move at all. A CV written for one field uses that field's nouns, and a screener - human or not - is checking for the new field's. The work can be there and still read as silence.

One requirement, read against a career that moved

Here is what that looks like for one real requirement, on one real advert, for someone moving from teaching into edtech operations.

Advert asks

Coordinate onboarding across schools, support and product.

“Responsible for introducing a new assessment system across the department.”

Friday asks

How many teachers used it? What did you change in the rollout? What happened when people got stuck?

What it can evidence

Coordinated adoption of a new system across 18 staff, rewrote the rollout after the first training exposed three recurring blockers, and reduced repeat support requests.

Nothing there is a new job title. The department is still a department and the staff are still teachers - what changed is which part of that sentence the advert can actually use.

Friday helps name transferable evidence. It does not rename teaching as product or operations experience.

Check one advert against what I have

Bring the advert you are looking at and whatever CV you have from your last field. Friday will say what already answers it, what needs the questions above, and what genuinely is not there yet.

How it goes

Paste the advert in the field you are moving to

The whole posting. The requirements are what your old field's CV gets read against.

Bring the CV you have, from the field you are leaving

Nothing needs rewriting first. Friday reads what is there before asking what is missing.

Answer what Friday asks about each line

How many, over what, and what happened - the same three questions that turned teaching into evidence above, asked about your own work.

Come back for the next advert in the new field

The record carries over. What you evidence once for one requirement is there the next time a different advert asks for something close to it.

Where this stops

Friday will not invent a title, a tool or a responsibility you did not have. If an advert wants two years of a platform you have never touched, it says so rather than writing around it.

What it does is take the work you can already stand behind and put it in words the new field's screening reads. Every employer configures that screening differently and no outside tool can see it. Nothing here is a promise about the outcome.

Friday is a career evidence engine for people who have done the work and cannot get the page to show it.

It is early and there are rough edges. What people report is what gets fixed first.
