So I'm not really sure how to post this, and I'm not the best at asking for help. Some of ya'll have met me in person at events or exchanged parts me, so I figured I would reach out since Defender owners are pretty connected.
After a really rough year in 2019 (anyone who ordered rock sliders from me already knows what a shit show of year this was for my girlfriend and I) I decided to leave my job doing Manufacturing Engineering to take a break and go back to school for Project Management, with the goal being to career pivot into the digital realm of IT/Software Development Project Management. So I went back to school, got my Project Management graduate certificate, took Lean Agile & Scrum release training classes.... and then Covid and all the fun it brought.
Long story short, I feel I have all the transferable skills, and I can learn anything I need to on the fly, but the one thing I lack is quantifiable IT/Software/Agile/Scrum experience on my resume, and it's been my Achilles' heel interviewing for jobs. So what I'm hoping to get out of this is to find an internship, even unpaid, but something to get me some practical experience and exposure that I can put on my resume. Any insights, thoughts, hilarious personal insults, career advice, or LinkedIn connections are greatly appreciated.
Thanks ya'll.
