Acknowledging that this is generally a tough time for job searchers, what advice would you give someone who is trying to transition from a dual role as a creative who also handles project management, to a pure project management role. In applications is it worth it to highlight how this duality shapes your approach to PM work, or would it be better to downplay that you have worn both hats and only talk about your experience on the PM side? I really want to move away from hands on creative work.

If you’re applying to agencies, I’d definitely highlight your creative background, it’s an asset.

Tailor different resumes & CoverLetters . My background spans across both as well as e-commerce. My last two remote freelance roles had diff titles. I have at least three & so do my recruiters. I transitioned from agency to the client side. Currently interviewing as well for remote or hybrid. Good luck 🍀

search creative operations roles. if you have resource management experience that can be a plus - as you probably know, it’s not just about availability, especially w/creatives.

I started a job with a restaurant as part time they hired me at a higher wage but after working for one week the other manager came to me telling me that they can’t afford what the other manager and I agreed on so now i have to work at less or I could look for another work options, she meant I should leave otherwise. What should I do?

Other than me being sick of my job and wanting more money, what are some other good reasons I can tell a recruiter why I'm looking for a lateral position change?
