Anyone aware of any full time / contract work for fully remote PM jobs? Been applying like everyone else for months and I am not getting through application filters. I have had my resume reviewed professionally, and I'm working to get a PMP cert., but really looking for some additional options. I'm finding that being in the agency world is semi-limiting because I don't have the required industry experience for many positions (i.e. construction / green energy). Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Referrals are the name of the game these days. Applying cold with so much competition gives you minimal chances to get through.

And I hear you on the problem of being from the agency world… I want to move entirely to tech, but it’s hard.

I usually land mine via agencies. Also, I make sure my resume is open to all hiring managers without the green banner. Once you optimize your LinkedIn. Recruiters will find you. My last three remote roles literally came from the job posted on LinkedIn. Or they interviewed with me before & made the connection. Perm remote has been harder to land. Those I’m not as successful. I’m sure I’m competing with others. Who have long perm experience. Also, remote job history helps as well. After pandemic layoffs & sabbaticals. I’ve only landed contract. Feels like perm remote can be more picky.

This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.
