I’m a PR manager with 5 years of experience and have been applying for copywriting, project management and comms strategy positions with no luck. I’ve been applying since April and have only had 2 interviews. Any advice on how best to transition or what other fields I can look into?

Any chance you can look internally at your current company? I think that’s always the easiest way to transition to a new role. Also do you know anyone who could refer you? In my experience it’s damn near impossible to get a call back without a referral.

I had thought of making that transition while here, but it’s really a small company and I’m not interested in any of the work they do here, plus it’s a bad environment for me. The two places I had referrals for didn’t even reach out to tell me my application was denied, so I’ve had no luck there either. Thanks for the advice! I’ll keep thinking.

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.
