I am a Project Manager looking to take on a higher-level management role within in another company. I have a solid background that consists of experience in infrastructure implementation and support, application development, business systems analysis, and strategic policy governance. In the job descriptions that I am finding, I am able to meet 95% of the requirements. The 5% that I lack comes in the form of:
1) As a Project Manager, I have never had any direct reports. All of my leadership has been in a matrixed environment.
2) Although I have managed multi-million dollar project budgets, I have not had any direct fiscal responsibilities for overseeing the entire departmental budget.
How do I translate my project management skills into the skills and abilities needed to help me meet the other 5% of the requirements needed for a higher-level management role?
