The industry I am working in is suffering from a downturn (surprise surprise) and I have started applying for roles in other industries.
I have tried to write my covering letters in a way that highlight the skills I have that are transferable and I guess I need to do the same for my CV.
How have other people found switching industries, does anyone have any tips on this for Project / Programme Managers?
I know industry knowledge is important and I do not like to have the wool pulled over my eyes but is it really that difficult to switch or is it just a matter of persuading the agent or client that the Project Management skills are more important?
