I am finishing my masters at the end of the year and am looking to move into an area that will allow me to use my graphic design undergrad degree and my MBA. With experience on a graphic design board as well as experience of 8 years at an international consulting firm, I feel that I have the skills to be successful as a project manager. However, I am unsure how to communicate this in my resume. I am in the process of updating my resume to reflect the skills I've acquired that are useful for a project manager. Any feedback is appreciated.
