Resume Review: 13 YOE Trying to Pivot to Program/Project Manager
Hello! I'm hoping I could get some some feedback on my resume. I've worked the majority of my career in public higher education, and I'm working on pivoting into program/project management roles outside of the higher education industry.
My situation:
\- Currently managing housing operations and systems at a large R1 university, leading process improvement, systems migrations, and cross-functional projects
\- PMP certified (July 2025)
\- M.Ed. in Higher Education
\- Targeting program manager, project manager, operations manager, or similar roles
\- Am hoping to make a pivot into private industry. Targeting tech, healthcare, retail
\- Location: looking for remote, hybrid, or on-site in my metro area
What I'm looking for feedback on:
Does the resume read well for someone pivoting out of higher education into PM/program management?
Are the bullets effective at showing transferable skills, or do they read too industry-specific?
Is the overall structure and length working, or should I cut it down? I do wonder if there's merit to some of my older roles, but would love some perspective on this.
Any bullets that feel weak, unclear, or that you'd cut?
General impressions from a hiring manager or recruiter perspective
Happy to answer questions about context. Thanks in advance.
