What type of resume are you using? The chronological or the functional style? I' m in the same boat you are...trying to make a career change out of the field of insurance claims into something along the lines of a technical writing/investigative/data analysis position. If you haven' t done a functional resume, you will have to take stock of the skills you have obtained to this point and emphasize the ones that will apply to the position you are seeking. You then list your most pertinent past employers (don' t list them all if it' s an extensive list). By using this type of resume you show a potential employer who you are and what you have to offer rather than where you' ve been. For a career changer, the functional resume will force the interviewer to emphasize and question your skills and keep the focus on you. You can use the opportunities that come up in the interview to show how you can utilize your acquired skills in the new position rather than what you thought of your last several employers, what you did there, etc.
