Any advice on a caeer pivot would be much appreciated. I have a BA in psychology, an M.Ed in counseling, and an MPA. Im a project manager in psychology. I've taken on more responsibilities and asked for a raise to get to 80k but I've been waiting for a few months. Im in Philly and have been trying transition to learning and development at places like comcast, deloitte, pwc, healthy verity. Any advice or leads?

What do you mean by you’re a project manager in psychology?

My understanding is that L&D work requires good understanding of instructional design, knowing how to run workshops, create learning materials, and running training programs. Being able to demonstrate strong organizational, influence, and verbal communication skills will be important from a resume perspective.

Change management may also be an area you can pivot to from project management and background in psychology.

Yes, thank you! I'm glad that comes across as a good skill to have. I going to keep tweaking my resume with this in mind.

Love the transition to L&D given your background. You might find it challenging to translate your experience to attract an L&D role. What others often overlook is working backwards from a job description you like.

Rather than shine a PM spotlight on your resume, you now have an opportunity to shine a L&D spotlight. Showcase the work that demonstrates you already have experience here too. If your resume is not getting you interviews, it's not there...yet. DM me if you'd like to learn how. Hope this helps!

Thank you! It says i can't fm you just yet I'ma new member but i will shortly. I'm having very little luck but in a few instances got feedback from hiring managers. It does seem like l&d is a great fit, I think im just struggling to show it the right way

Im looking to transition myself back to IT/Tech, but am feeling apprehensive in getting the attention of recruiters with the industry switch. Any advice from anyone that’s been in a similar situation?
