I've been a paralegal for many years. I'm wanting/needing to make a change. I'm looking at construction assistant project management. While many of my skills transfer, it's the cliche - can't get a job without experience and can't get experience without getting a job. I just need a foot in the door. Anyone in the industry or recruitment have any sage advice?

Thoughts?

I'm currently working as an electrical designer in the MEP industry.
