I have a PhD in a social science and am interested in getting into program or project management. Does anyone have recommendations on how to make a pivot into technical program and/or project management? I’ve managed several projects, but not in a traditional sense that may appeal to the corporate world. Would also accept recommendations for resume writers who can help someone in my position. Thanks!
