Creative content Producer looking to Project Mgmt as a next step. Any advice on getting some kind of certification?

I've been trying to get a Producer job in-house at a brand, agency, or similar. I'm having a hard time getting foot in the door, and when i do get replies, it's usually "cool work, but not a good fit." I primarily have music industry experience as an in-house Content Producer + Creative Services Operations, but also some boutique ad agency experience (11+years).

I would recommend going through recruiters. Especially when you want to pivot. They will help you navigate. Career coaches are great as well.

I made the lateral career move from production management to project management six years ago. Right now, the job market is saturated with candidates who have industry-specific experience so networking and potentially doing a temp to perm gig may be the best way to pivot against stiff competition that has much more experience. The timing is tough right now.

Hello folks,
I have an offer in hand by value labs and Accenture and I’m more leaning towards valuelabs. However, I’ve seen a lot of comment online which were made in 2022 and before as well that the job security is an issue in value labs and they will fire a chunk without any prior notice.
Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.
