Hey All! I was recently laid off in November as part of a company mass layoff. I'm really taking this opportunity to shoot for a Director level position in Marketing. (I've been a marketing professional for over 10 years). I've had one or two direct reports and I really enjoying coaching and mentorship and I've been told I am very creative and strategic able to move projects from conception to creation to execution. Any tips on how to break into this type of role?

I wish I could help. I was at a VP level for eight years. Company closed due to Covid in October of this year. I decided to take a step back and work on work/life balance with a director or manager level position.

I just now landed a manager level position. There’s a lot of competition out there. Work on your resume. Try to make connections on LinkedIn. And apply everywhere. Keep at it.
