Hi everyone, I’m currently searching for TPM/PM roles in Canada, but responses have been minimal despite tailoring applications. I’ve led backend teams and delivered healthcare and startup digital transformation projects, yet I’m starting to wonder if it’s my approach or the market itself. I’m also building an enterprise-grade application as a side project, would adding this to LinkedIn Experience help? Appreciate any advice.

You should add anything you can to differentiate yourself. Any projects, credentials, or certifications that will set you apart from others should be available to recruiters. This job market is awful; we have to do what we can to stand out.

Thank you, I have been thinking of adding it as a Stealth mode but then I dont want to give recruiters an impression that I am not looking for a full time role, I actually am looking for one.

The market itself is definitely playing a part in it. That said, make sure you are doing everything you can with your resume and networking. Bullet points like “Implemented automated security scans in the CI/CD pipeline, reducing vulnerabilities in production by 50% and ensuring PCI compliance” are what really stick out now.

As others have said, the market stinks. I saw these numbers in LinkedIn post showing how may roles in were removed from Amazon in Washington State. I share this to show that there is a lot of competition at the moment.

If you’re not already doing so, make sure your resume is optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). You should be tailoring your resume to each role applied. Your AI tool of choice can help you with this (FWIW I’ve had success with both ChatGPT and Gemini). Be sure that the AI is not misrepresenting you.

If you’re willing to be flexible, look for roles outside the TPM/PM. I’ve been brought in for TPdM roles based on my background. Look for companies that can use your healthcare industry experience.

Look directly on companies’ job board. Once a posting hits LinkedIn it will get swarmed. Always try to apply within the first day of the role being posted.

If it makes sense for your situation, explore opportunities outside your current city.

Good luck with your search.

Why would you ever want to rollover your 401K into an IRA?
