   You don't mention what you have done in aviation, hard to help. Also, HR management is very broad. In this field, certification goes a long way, SHRM certification. Also, right now HR project management positions, are going to be rare. I would suggest looking for a role in hr to grow with, if that's even out there. Cuts are out there within HR and if they're not hiring they're not hiring for this. Change management is a part of this area for sure. My biggest suggestion is while you're still in current role look into certifications with SHRM. This could NOT be a quick opportunity as I see roles in HR not opening up until next year in general. The holiday season needs to be GREAT for almost every industry out there along with our growing stronger economy.

   This was so helpful! I may have to pivot.

   Consider revamping your resume by utilizing a functional format (vs a traditional format). This would highlight your skills, and demonstrate that they are indeed, transferrable. In your introduction statement/summary of qualifications at the top of your resume, clearly state that you possess transferrable skills, identify them, and relay how they would benefit the new organization. There are examples of functional resume templates online. Best of luck!
