new to project management

I tried reaching to people in similar roles but to no avail. Thanks for the good luck.

Thank you and hope so.

Don't be deterred, perhaps those folks aren't really the ones you want to engage with anyways.

As a previous operations coordinator, I incorporated what I did with what they're asking for but most of the time the employer want more experience than I currently have.

Thanks for the input. At the moment its what I'm attempting to do.

Are you in a position where you can get the experience employers are looking for?

If not, what kind of opportunities can you create for yourself? Can you find a non-profit charitable organization where you can volunteer as a project manager? Are you building and leveraging your local network to find out about opportunities and get introduced to people who can help in your search? Instead of (or in addition to) applying and interviewing for jobs, ask people on your network if you can interview them about project management at their company (informational interview).

Treat your job search like a combination research project/full time job.

Yes I just remembered some of the volunteer work, I did as a coordinator. Might be a stupid question but I don't see how holidays and achieving a degree constitutes to pm.
