Industry Transition Narrative

Help me craft a compelling narrative for my career transition.

My transition:
- From: [CURRENT ROLE IN CURRENT INDUSTRY]
- To: [TARGET ROLE IN TARGET INDUSTRY]

My story:
- Why I'm leaving my current field: [YOUR REASONS]
- What sparked my interest in the new field: [THE CATALYST]
- What I've done to prepare: [COURSES, PROJECTS, NETWORKING,
  RESEARCH]
- What I bring that others don't: [UNIQUE VALUE FROM YOUR
  BACKGROUND]

Write narratives for different contexts:
1. Resume summary (3-4 sentences) that frames the transition
   positively
2. Cover letter paragraph (100 words) explaining the pivot
3. Interview answer for "Why are you changing careers?"
   (90 seconds spoken)
4. LinkedIn About section that tells the transition story
   (200 words)
5. Elevator pitch for networking (30 seconds)

Each narrative should:
- Frame the transition as intentional and strategic, not
  desperate
- Connect the dots between my past and my future
- Highlight what I add that traditional candidates don't
- Address the "risk" concern (why should they hire someone
  from outside the field?)
- Sound confident and forward-looking
