“Seeking a new career path as a Lead Technical Engineer”

Applied to over 100 project management and engineering manager roles with zero callbacks or feedback, but had a promising interview after calling in a favor.

What I wish I knew
"More about what makes a resume stand out in a competitive job market."
If I could tell you one thing
"Highlight unique experiences and skills to differentiate oneself from others."
