Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Interview was taken by juniors for senior position. Even though you are 99% match for the position.. you’re are not taken based on this stupid junior interviewers review saying you more qualified for it. It sounded non sense. They should assign proper interviewers.. Looked like those ladies felt me as a competitor. Worst..

Switching Industries as a Project Manager, Need Advice
Hey everyone, I’m currently working as a project manager in the construction sector and thinking of switching industries. While my current role is fine, I feel I might be happier exploring something different, maybe in tech, operations, or even consulting. I’ve been in this field for 7 years, but my entry was more about convenience, joined through a family connection after graduation. Now, I want to explore roles that align more with my long-term goals, like moving into leadership. Have any of you made a similar switch? How did you identify transferable skills and break into a new industry? Would love to hear your thoughts or advice!
