How to spin non-consulting experience into consulting-ready resumes?

Worked in retail management but want to pivot to consulting. Resume tools claim they can reframe non-relevant experience—does this actually convince recruiters? How do you highlight transferable skills without stretching the truth?

‘increased checkout efficiency 15%’ becomes ‘orchestrated operational transformation driving double-digit kpi gains.’ welcome to consulting speak. just don’t claim you solved world hunger.

used a resume tool as a student!! turned my café job into ‘stakeholder ops optimization’ lol. got me past ATS once, but prep for case interviews harder :sweat_smile:

Analysis shows recruiters spend 0.7 seconds per resume line. Quantify outcomes (e.g., ‘Trained 15 staff→20% faster onboarding’) and lead with consulting verbs (‘Streamlined,’ ‘Architected’). Prioritize metrics over duties.
