Okay y’all… I need some help.

I’ve been applying to a combination of Junior Project Manager, Project Coordinator & Project Manager roles and for the past few months, all I have been receiving is declines 😩.

Any resume & cover letter tips? Im thinking my resume seems basic. I’m currently a Project Assistant.

At what step of the recruitment process are you getting declined? If you're not getting any interviews, then I would re-assess your resume/cover letter. If you are getting interviews and being rejected afterwards, brush up on your interviewing skills and practice your answers to common interview questions.

I would definitely create a skills section high on your resume if you don’t have one and that lists all those skills you mentioned you have. People look at those keywords.
