What industries do you have experience working in?

Remember to discuss the roles you worked in for each industry you mention even if you did not work in a business-focused role. Interviewers value candidates that have operations-based knowledge in addition to project management, accounting, finance, marketing, etcetera.

"I had an internship at a media company in college. I worked in their accounting department and did mostly analytical work. I am currently employed at a software company in a financial analysis role.

I have had the opportunity to work on several cross-functional projects and I partner directly with the project managers on a regular basis. I respect the work they do and sought several of them out as mentors when I decided I wanted to move into project management. I feel my combined experience makes me an ideal candidate for the assistant project manager role at your company."
