hey there! my SO is a PM, what really helped him was networking internally with PMs (he started off working at a small company so luckily he had to work with them anyway) and starting to study for the CAPM/PMP. if Verizon has tuition or professional development reimbursements, you can see if they'll pay for you to take the course and exam.
Glad to help!! Hope you land your first PM role soon! :)
Hey! I agree with above- study for capm/pmp. Also look into getting your CSM or PSM 1. Personally I prefer PSM 1, since it is more affordable but requires a higher passing score. Also start applying that scrum knowledge to your current dev process
Hi, I think the key to pivoting is a) updating all your personal branding materials to be in line with keywords for your new direction (resume, professional summary, linkedin profile, cover letter, video pitch, website/portfolio) b) pursuing reputable upskilling opportunities (use networking to understand which ones are worthwhile) and highlight these on your branding materials c) having a clear understanding of your target role/path so you understand the nuances of how people actually break in, in reality d) having a deep understanding of your target roles so you can easily speak to your fit during interviews e) working with a coach, mentor, or peer to see any gaps and areas for opportunity.
