When you are transitioning, it is important to list your previous experience, even if it is not relevant, but you may want to abridge your irrelevant experience in those positions.
To bolster your resume, try to do some charity work in your new chosen profession, as charity work always looks good, and it also gives you additional experience.
It's better to have someone say "Oh, this person is changing careers" than "What has this person been doing"
Additionally, try to make your previous experience more relevant to your chosen field. Emphasize how your experience in sales management translates to problem solving in computer science. Retool your past experience to bring out problems you solved and how your analytical skills, problem solving, and trouble-shooting abilities translate.

After some years in sales and sales management, I went back to school for computer science and after a couple of years in that program I left it for an software job that I've now been at for almost 5 years. Although I didn't finish the CS degree, I do have a bachelor's from years ago.
Now I'm curious how to proceed with my resume:
I ask this question because everything I found while searching was geared towards people looking to make a career change (which I've already done). How should I write this?
