My contract is up end of December, how far out would you start applying elsewhere?

For context, my current role is cool and I want to see my time through. Also some chance to go FTE, based on budget approvals…

Seems the duration and hiring process is all over the place depending where you look.

Get that resume and portfolio ready and start looking! With this kind of time cushion you can be picky. If you get an offer early you can negotiate a start date or even use it as leverage with your current position to get FTE (or see how real that promise is). Just be honest in interviews about your contract.

Hello All!

Last year I pivoted internally to a Product Manager role, which has been good to me; however, I think I would like explore Product Marketing. I’ve always loved story telling and want to combine that with strategy. Any tips on how to transition to the field?

A little background on myself is I have 11 YOE.
2 years - Marketing
8 years - Merchandise Planning and Category Development
1 year - Product Management

Thank you in advance for the feedback!

Confidence shook! Help! Career coach hired, but I was told by a HH my chronological resume should be re-worked into a functional resume. I’ve been with my firm since 2003, in my current dept since 2011 with a few promotions since, but the job didn’t change that much as my title grew except for more $$. My mental health has taken a toll & the WLB hasn’t been very balanced at all in recent years. I need to get out & haven’t really looked for a job in almost 20 years.

Thoughts? Encouragement?
