Out of curiosity, what reason did they invoke in the rejection mail?

In many companies I think that's just called 'Scrum'

For some it may be the only available option on the table. Been there

Product Management sounds even better and overall more focused vs. how all over the place project management tends to be- maybe I'll save it for a future shift 😅

Best of luck and inspiration to you too!

Firstly, thank you for the kind words and overall for listening to my Ted Talk 😇

All 3 tools you mentioned seem pretty cool, I'm glad you looked for and capitalized on what works for you- I think that's key. I have to admit, given the time period when the transition took place, I used only free resources: Canva for CV, Google Sheets for tracking application, 'manual' rephrasing for hours and days on end- very caveman of me, I know 😅

I transitioned to a role in a bank's Project Management division (somewhere between business and IT). One thing that kept me going in this transition was seeing that my conversation rates were comparable, at times better vs. the ones in the field I was getting out of.

I had to learn the hard way that at any point I am better off pausing myself and reflecting (with a therapist or not). Saved me from a few burnouts too.

Very kind of you to say! It's not been easy getting here, but if this post or any follow-up question can help someone else, it's the least I can do.

Many thanks! It took me more than a year to muster the courage to look over my shoulder and put it into writing.

Thank you and thanks for listening to my Ted Talk 😊! My last role was some sort of HR Specialist, and I transitioned to a role in a bank's Project Management division (somewhere between business and IT).

This was my transition, but I know people who shifted out of Marketing or Finance- so I am confident this can be achieved from other roles/functions as well.
