Career transition advice needed

Sarah Nickolds Senior Project Manager at N/A Posted 2 years ago

Hi all,
I am looking to transition my creative, project management and stakeholder management skills into a community engagement/manager role within the charity/culture/public sector which has meaning and social impact however I am struggling to effectively convey my transferrable skills through my job applications. I occassionally get to first round interviews but always seem to be up against a pool of applicants with more relevant experience — does anyone have any advise?
About me: I am currently a freelance Senior Project Manager working for branding, strategy and design consultancies in the place-making. I I have a wealth of experience across production, design, content, strategy and mixed used schemes for clients. I am experienced in managing multiple projects, budgets, collaborating with a variety of stakeholders and creatives to ensure projects are delivered on time and to budget. 
Thank you
