I can definitely envision how to add this to a portfolio, but how would you show applied learning on a resume, if you didn't move from a junior role to a senior role in a traditional way? Say you moved from one industry to another or had a variety of seemingly unrelated jobs. I assume you don't want to write a lengthy statement about how you learned skills from one job and cross-applied it to another. Is there a recommended way to do that concisely?

Great question, Rachel.
I would focus on the outcomes of what you learned? What did you accomplish (ideal that was beneficial to your employer) that you couldn't have accomplished had you not learned the important things?
