Hi there! My story: I graduated in May 2023 from Florida State University with a bachelor's degree in marketing & professional Sales. I started work as a Business Development Representative at Oracle for their ERP, NetSuite, and then, despite being a top performer, my entire department was let go in July. I moved from Austin to Chicago recently, but it has been difficult to find a job as a logistics coord. (which is a field that I really enjoy). It's been almost 8 months; I am seeking advice!

Any advice involving certificates, resume, etc... the market is tough, but I must persevere.

I moved here for not 1 but 2 job offers that were put on hold last month due to market conditions.

Sounds great, thank you for this!! God bless.

I've become really jaded about consulting.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
