Seeking professional help to change careers - Project work
Hi, I am UK based. I'd like to change careers and become a project coordinatior. I look for jobs weekly, but seem to be finding less and less. I obtained a professional certification. I worked on my CV and drafted interview behaviour stories for the interview. I feel stuck, and the national careers service isn't offering me anything else. Have you got any advice, I don't know where to turn.

My experience is that job availability tends to fluctuate every few years. With the global situation now its quite possible that some companies are waiting to take on new employees. Its rough if you are looking for a job, but it might be that you just need yo be patient. Which isn't a bad attribute for a project coordinator, anyway.
You don't mention practical experience. It doesn't have to be direct experience, but if I was reviewing a cv, it would be important that it demonstrated the key skills of a project organiser. Time management, budget management, communication and people organising skills are all things I would want to see demonstrated. And I there's anything key in the job description, make sure there's evidence of it on your cv.
But unfortunately, I think patience and persistence are likely to be the key things here.
I wish you all the luck with it, you're trying your best. More and more things are posted on social media, that might include job fairs or recruitment agencies?
You could also trying looking for a mentor in the field you're looking to break into, they could best advise you on what steps to take next :)
