My dear, I personally would not recommend this.
Don't narrow your job search platform; and don't generalize your ability. In this era and in these economic times, this strategy won't do you any favors.
I think what you might be looking for is more of a senior, director, or VP role where your decades of experience across sectors has allowed you to pivot and be flexible to any industry, any company. Would that be accurate to say?
Else-wise, most companies don't hire for general experience unless they are posting for entry-level or new grad. That might also be a job criteria you set for your job posting platforms.
Otherwise, in my 10 years in the PM industry (projects, portfolios, programs), never have I gotten a job or come across one that has asked for more general experience.
As a gifted and talented PM with experience across sectors, I would recommend that you subscribe to all job platforms and tailor your resume to a variety of PM positions. Show how versatile you are, but ensure you are targeting the uniqueness of the company or industry. This is the better job search approach.
