Resume Rewrite — Before & After (Career Transition)

Concept/spec project — an illustrative before/after example built to demonstrate my resume-writing approach, not a real client engagement.
The "before" version is a common pattern: a generic objective statement, dense paragraphs instead of scannable bullets, no quantified outcomes, and formatting that doesn't parse cleanly for ATS systems.
The "after" version keeps the same underlying career history but repositions it: a sharp professional summary, achievement-driven bullets with real numbers, consistent hierarchy, and clean structure that both a recruiter and an ATS can scan in seconds.
This is the same process I bring to every resume and LinkedIn rewrite — not a template swap, a repositioning exercise built around what's actually blocking callbacks.
