I’m wanted to get more into Project Management and was recommended by a friend to start off as a coordinator. I struggle with verbalizing my work value and not sure if my resume supports my strength. I feel like I’m being low balled during the interview process and not sure if it’s me or not. Any advise? Based off my experience, I believe 60k is a fair salary but am I not communicating that on my resume.

One thing that helped me refine my resume was to find PM profiles on LinkedIn and see how they present themselves, what language they use, etc. Also googling PM resumes should give you a launchpad for inspiration on how to further refine your resume. Good luck!

Ensure you have these keywords, some you do. Be honest but essentially everyone touches these is some form or the other: budget, scope, schedule, project plan, risk, resource, stakeholder, communication, change control.

Get a CAPM (1-2 months), learn MS Project for free online (2 weeks) and add those in as well.

I would describe the companies/orgs less and really pay attention to tenses.
Also do you have any certificates in PM? that could help you immensely, also using more project related language in your descriptions will make your more comfortable with the topic and value descriptions. Stay confident!

Happy to, it's hard recovering from that. Also make lists of things you are proud of and get your project examples in order, will help you in interviews a lot if you have good stories to build on/draw from. All the best!

After one interview, I tried to withdraw my candidacy due to the salary being lower than expected. Shortly after the hiring manager contacted me to inform me that they accidentally gave me the wrong salary range and invited me to come back for a second interview. I delightedly agreed and the second interview went very well, BUT I haven’t heard anything back yet. Did I accidentally kill my chances by withdrawing too soon then deciding to come back?

I just received this email by a recruiter:

"One thing I want to run by you again is the salary range. I asked you about it when we spoke and you mentioned a range. I would say that we would be able to offer a salary more in the lower part of that range, so I just want to make sure it is still relevant for you? We think l that you would have exciting development possibilities with us"

the lower part of that range, is acceptable, but low for market in the area. Should i ask about benefits?

What’s up w recruiters who pretend to be your new BFF and then ghosts you if you don’t get the gig? I wish they could be upfront about that. “ I’m only interested in you to get my commission. I really have zero interest in you as a person. Buh- bye!” So rude.
