I'm sure I'm not the only person who will benefit from this and any advice is greatly appreciated. What do you recommend is the best way to find a project manager role when moving cross country?
In my case, my family is moving to North Carolina to be closer to family. I already have a great work history within project management including completing complex IT projects, waterfall manufacturing 3rd party part production projects, adopting CRM systems for marketing and sales teams, and much more spanning 7+ years of project management, plus have an MBA, PMP, ACP, Scrum Master certs, and Six Sigma green belt. Thing is, I've had an amazingly hard time even landing an interview. I thought with my hard and smart work background and an amazing resume, that I would have no problem finding a new role in a new company, but I guess I highly underestimated the journey. It's been about 3 weeks since I began looking and yet not much has come back to me.
Is it that I might be applying to jobs that are requiring too much experience? Is the project management job market in North Carolina not strong currently? What advice do you have for someone in my position and struggling to find work? Any tips for finding employment for my scenario? Is it that it simply takes more time for hiring managers to contact me back and I'm not giving the process the proper amount of time? Are there specific job boards that work better than others?
This community has been great to me over the years so I'm hoping I can get something tangible from asking on this discussion board. Thanks everyone! Saving Changes...
