I would highlight any digital asset or website creation/management and meeting campaign launch deadlines.

You probably already have that, but it helps! Also showcasing you’ve worked on the other side of things and know how to be empathetic to humans while managing timelines for approvals.

You’re going to do great! Hope you land something soon - good luck!

Did you revise your resume to align with the job description? Hard to help without knowing what type of PM role you are transitioning to!

I would emphasize any experience you have managing creative people to deliver work, balancing multiple project priorities at the same time, building complex timelines, and any exposure you’ve had to non-video or photo deliverables or how you’d apply that knowledge to print, .com and digital/social projects. Also, be explicit that you won’t mind giving up the creation part of your role as you’d be limited in people asking you for creative direction or execution.

When a new type of project comes in and you get assigned as the PM to “figure out” the project plan, how do you go about resource allocation? Sometimes I struggle to know what the team configuration should even be, because we’ve never done said project type before. It’s hard to know what type of people should be assigned, and at what % time, when there isn’t a preexisting process or work breakdown structure for the deliverables I’m being handed to “manage.” How do/would you handle?
