Seriously, though, I would target the skills/experience based on the specific job you are applying for.
That means you tweak your resume for each prospective employer.
You may want to emphasize customer service experience for one job, while focusing on decision making for another job.
Good Luck!
This is good advice flyingtigermco. Except for the layovers and FAs part....
Keep in mind that just like in aviation employers want to see experience that parallels the job you are applying for. Take some time and learn the industry lingo for which you are applying and use those buzz words where you can.
The reality is that you are probably going to have to start over with this new career move. Employers aren't going to be too hip to hiring someone who has never done that particular job before. Just like a major airline these days wouldn't hire a pilot directly out of school - they want to see experience in that particular job.
Hang in there - it will happen for you given persistence. Network!
