Senior PMMs - Advice please!

I am actively applying for PMM roles in tech/ai/data or similar industry. I have Jr to mid-level Marketing experience in recruitment industry (so no direct product experience) for nearly 2.5 years. I've spoken to 20+ PMM experts, did 2 courses on LinkedIn & applied to 30+ PMM jobs. Sadly, Igot 0 interviews!

Experts say my CV is solid but the job market is terrible & requires 3-6 yrs of PMM experience. Any tips on how I can stand out? I'm ready to go the extra mile!

The normalization of "on hold" by the usual suspects. Had 6 interviews in past 4 months with D_itte Get the verbal offer from HR. Yay. Fast forward to following Monday. Get thanked for my complimentary followup sent post-final interview. 48hrs later, same recruiter (on speakerphone) tells me job is now hold and "you must be upset" and good luck in your search.

Tacky AF. Tell me I was rejected by the shadowy 5-person board or it was given to someone who wanted less. Just not this b.s.
