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.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Hi everyone,
I relocated with my family to Ireland recently, one month ago, and while I got a lot of screening calls with recruiters, I did not hear back from any of them after our interview. I am still on the process of getting my work permit and I am very clear about this during the interviews, but I suspect that this is the reason why I am not getting any call back. Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?

JPMorgan Chase Did a first round interview for a senior level position at JP Morgan.. hiring manager said I should receive a call back within a couple of weeks.. been over a month.. no intimation post that.. the HR in charge of hiring or scheduling haven’t replied to my emails on what comes next and haven’t scheduled anything. So should I consider this as a dead end ? Does this generally happen at JP? Feels weird that I have been ghosted after what I felt was a very good interview.. Was a good fit too.JPMorgan Chase
