Show a new field what your experience is worth
Career changers have the experience but often not the vocabulary. Sortie reframes your real work in the language of the new field, keeps every claim traceable to your record, and helps you prepare for the questions that come with a change.
Reframe, do not reinvent
Moving fields does not mean starting from zero. Sortie starts from your master record and rewrites your experience in the terms the new role uses, so a teacher's lesson plans read as learning programs and a manager's schedules read as operations planning. Nothing is invented: every line traces back to work you actually did.
Fill the gaps with real proof
When the new field expects skills your past titles do not show, add courses, certifications and portfolio projects to your master record. Sortie can then use them where they fit the posting. Truth-checking removes numbers that are not in your record, so your career change resume stays believable from the first line to the last.
Tell the story with confidence
Interviewers will ask why you are changing. The toolkit helps you draft an elevator pitch, a cover letter and STAR answers from your own record, plus a LinkedIn profile and open to work post that name the new direction. A career coach tool helps you think through next steps, and the tracker keeps your search organized.

Will Sortie make my experience sound like something it is not?
No. It reframes real work in the new field's language, and every line has to trace back to your own record.
Should I include unrelated jobs?
Usually yes, briefly. Sortie can give older or unrelated roles fewer lines while keeping your history complete.
Can Sortie help me explain the change in interviews?
Yes. The toolkit drafts an elevator pitch and STAR answers from your record, and the career coach helps you plan what to say.
