## Prompt

```text
Act as a career-change coach.

**Where my experience comes from:** [e.g. military, teaching, hospitality, academia, a different industry]
**My current bullets or a description of my work:** [PASTE]
**The role and industry I'm moving into:** [TARGET]
**Job description for that role (optional):** [PASTE]

Task:
1. Identify my transferable skills and match each to what the target role needs.
2. Replace jargon, ranks and internal terms with plain language a civilian or new-industry recruiter will understand.
3. Rewrite my bullets as achievements with scale and results.
4. Suggest a new resume summary that explains the move in one line.

Format: a translation table (original term → plain-language equivalent), then the rewritten bullets.

Never overstate my experience or invent results; mark missing numbers as [ADD METRIC].
