Resolved Question
Contracts Manager Job, what is my chance of convincing employers I am good enough to get the job?
Hi
I have been advised by a recruitment agency that my career experience over the last 20 yrs would make me suitable for a contracts managers job, even though I have no formal qualifications in that sector.
My Background
Retail store manager 12 years, Auto electrical communications engineering 15 years, Stainless steel fabrication Manufacturing 5 years.
I have been in management most of this time and have been in sole charge of projects, procurement, Marketing, contract negotioations. I have been the main Director & CEO in 3 small limited companies for several years too.
My own opinion is that I have worked for big corporations and small companies and have been involved in every area of business so I will be able to learn and blend into the role easily to be a good contracts manager. I like organising, being involved in decision making, responsibility and meeting new people.
I have changed my previous job titles on most of my CV to Contracts manager in order to attract interviews from companies.
Am I expecting too much to be able to secure a job as a contracts manager without big company experience or qualifications?
Any tips or advice appreciated.

Your experience is certainly wide ranging and very business focused.
Everything is reliant on your CV being a good one.
I can only suggest that you email it to me and I will check it out for you.
Incidentally I Teach employability skills which includes CV writing.
I will be happy to give it the once--over.
