After working for twelve years as a janitor in a car repair shop, you are beginning to wish you had another job or even another career. Describe how you would transition to another career of your choice. Be sure to include a reference to how you would construct a résumé for the position you want and how your experiences as a janitor would make you a good fit for the position you wish to obtain.

The Janitor could choose to become a computer programmer. While it is not an easy career path to take for a Janitor, it can be done with some effort, and can result in jobs that are far better paid than the Janitor job.

Explanation:

The Janitor would have to take some programming courses, ideally in a few progamming languages like python or HTML, which are very popular. A bootcamp would be a good idea because they tend to be cheap, and teach a lot in a short period of time. The Janitor could also simply look for free courses online (there are plenty).

Once the Janitor has a certification in a few programming languages, he simply needs to add those certifications to his resumé. His experience as a Janitor would still work: it would demonstrate that he is accustomed to hard work, which is the kind of work needed in programming.
