AI Thread Summary
When transitioning from a process control engineer in the nuclear industry to a patent agent role, it's important to tailor the resume to highlight relevant skills and experiences. Including specific technologies such as Windows Server Administration and C# Programming can be beneficial, but the focus should be on the transferable skills gained from those experiences rather than listing every technical detail. Emphasizing project descriptions and general competencies in programming and electrical work may be more effective for a career shift into intellectual property. Additionally, being a registered patent agent is crucial, as it establishes credibility in the field and is often a prerequisite for such positions.

Hey everybody, I was wondering if I can get a little help with a resume I'm writing. I've been working in the nuclear industry as a process control engineer for about 3 years now and am thinking of taking my career to Intellectual Property (Patent Agent). My experience is in computing (programming) and electrical work.

Should I write down the specific technologies I worked with? (e.g. Windows Server Administration, C# Programming, Microsoft Office, etc.) I am skeptical of how much a company would care to see all that considering I won't be doing that kind of work anymore. I figured that describing the kinds of projects I worked on and making a few general statements about programming and electrical work would be good enough for this kind of resume.

Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
