How to Write a Resume for a Lateral Move

In this episode of The Resume Room, Lucas and Luna tackle a common but tricky scenario: the lateral move. You're not looking for a promotion, and you're not jumping to a different industry. You want a similar role at a different company — or even within your own organization — but the resume needs to signal growth, not stagnation. Lucas breaks down the three things a lateral-move resume must prove: that you're not fleeing a problem, that you bring transferable wins, and that you're motivated by the right reasons. They discuss a real case study: a marketing manager moving from a large agency to a tech company's in-house brand team. Specific advice on framing job titles that sound too similar, handling the 'why this role' question before it's asked, and using the resume to tell a story of deliberate choice rather than drift. Also: a brief, sincere word on how listener support keeps the show ad-free. #ResumeWriting #LateralMove #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #ResumeTips #CareerPivot #MarketingManager #InHouseVsAgency #TransferableSkills #ResumeStrategy #JobApplication #CoverLetter #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheResumeRoom #PodcastEpisode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
