Where can I go with only 3 months of consulting experience? Consulting isn’t for me, and I’d like to get into project management. Have 2 years of admin experience and ultimately want to get my PMP

3 months is like what? One project? So after only 1 project, how is that considered “consulting experience”. Consulting experience also means working at a wide variety of projects in various roles.

like

4 projects actually! I’ve been with the firm 2 1/2 years. Started helping on projects in my previous role, and have 1 official project under my belt and the current one I’m staffed on equals 4

You know that Project Management is often a role that is staffed in consulting engagements? Why don’t you try to pivot internally to something like that first?

I’ve already looked into it. I’m interested in joining another company such as Medtronic

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
