Here is a version **under 500 characters**:

I have an HNC and BSc in Mechanical Engineering and moved to the UK in 2023. I trained in electrical installation, got my 18th Edition, and will finish Level 3 and 2391 soon. I previously worked in telecoms and cement plant maintenance. I still can’t get UK engineering roles and keep being asked for UK experience. I’m working as an HCA and feel stuck. I need advice.

Any resume writer referrals? I’m trying to make the jump into project management. I have 13YOE managing cross-departmental projects and people, and I’d like to shed the general EA work of calendars/travel/expenses. But recruiters just see my most recent role is EA and that’s all they want to talk to me about. I’m hoping a better written resume will help target algorithms to get my resume viewed for other roles.

Can anyone provide any advice, or has anyone successfully moved away from sales?

I’m looking for a broader mandate than just my immediate pipeline. I have been enjoying insights but grow frustrated by the lack of decision-making power. I rather would want to take a path with high long term career potential.
