There's no better time to improve your chances of landing your dream project management job than right now
It's a high paying profession - typically paying around 20% more than the national average salary.
With experience it's possible to get into the lucrative contractor market where the day rates can give you a six figure salary.
You get to influence change and shape the world in some way. In small or large changes, you get to make the world better.
It's a results driven profession where your outputs are often directly linked to what you put into the work. It's a situation that works well for people with ambition, intelligence and a strong work ethic.
And the profession is growing! In order to maintain the level of change being seen in our world, project management is going to become one of the most sought after skills.
But getting that first role isn't simple.
And neither is landing the next job.
Why?
The job market has changed.
Competition for the best roles has increased.
Over 500 people apply for each advertised job now.
So sending a hundred CV/resumes isn't enough. They may not even get seen due to the volumes of applicants.
Applying for every opportunity on the job board isn't enough. The recruiters don't seem to notice you.
Putting the "Open To Work" frame on your LinkedIn profile isn't enough. Only your friends will see it.
The chances are you already know this.
If you are actively job-seeking now there are urgent steps you need to take to improve your chances of landing your dream job.
Immediate action to enhance every step of your job search process and utilise every advantage you have.
If you are comfortably employed, there are steps you should be taking to improve your chances in the job market for when you're ready to make the big move.
You know that a move will be required at some point - for greater income, for greater security, for a new challenge.
You need to start using your advantages and creativity to get a chance. You need to do things that your competition hasn't considered doing.
Yes, you need to do the basics - write a good CV, apply for jobs, turn up to interviews prepared, but there's so much more you can be doing that will improve your chances of landing the interview and getting the dream job.
That's where I can help.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long is the course? Will I be able to fit it in around my life?
A: The course is made of a series of short videos and text, with some long form interviews and live webinars. The whole course content will be made immediately available to you.
I should also add that the course is not static - it will change and evolve over time. As I learn new things, I'll update the course. It truly is a living course and will reflect the entirety of my knowledge at any point in time.
Q: Will there be webinars and group events?
A: Webinars take place every few months covering the topics from the course and including special guests.
Q: Will webinars be recorded and shared?
A: No, as the conversations around employment and income can be sensitive and I want to encourage people to feel free to speak openly about their lives and experiences.
Q: Is it a project management course? Will I learn what project management is from this?
A: No, though there are some basic introductory content and definitions. This course will point to learning providers and creators that can help you to develop basic project management skills; but the primary aim is to help you to get the next - or first - project management job based on my knowledge and experience.
Q: There are assignments as part of the course? What is my obligation around them?
A: You will get the best outcomes by completing the assignments... but I won't be marking your homework. It's in your interest to do the work - especially the assignments that take you out of your comfort zone.
Q: How does this differ from any other course or book about job searching?
A: It's different as it's about my approach and how I blend the traditional models that everyone does with my experience of nearly two decades as a project professional with multiple job moves, PLUS what I have learned about social media and networks that can make us stand out from the average job hunter.
I am transparent in the course about the parts that I have struggled with, the areas I had to improve on. And there are sections where I bring in experts that have better experience than I have, along with their unique perspectives.
Q: Enrolment for the course closes soon... but I can't afford the full amount at the moment. Is there a payment plan?
A: Yes - the course offers a payment plan and, in some regions, a buy now pay later option.
Q: Can I send the course as a gift?
A: Yes - the checkout page provides a send as gift option.
Q: What if I try it and don't think it will help me?
A: You get a 30 day no questions money back guarantee. If this doesn't help you at all, if you don't learn a single useful thing that can improve your chances in the market - then I don't want your money.

'I want to express my sincere appreciation to Stuart for his incredible course on project management, which exceeded my expectations.
This course wasn't solely about project management; it encompassed a wealth of knowledge and practical aspects one could ask for. The careful crafting of the course demonstrates his dedication, and it is undeniably worth every moment.
Stuart shared his expertise generously, extending support beyond the classroom and conducting sessions that were truly enlightening. His attentive listening skills made the learning experience incredibly engaging. Thank you for being a phenomenal mentor!' - Nivita Dhameja
'I would recommend the Find Your Next – Or First – Project Management Job course.
It provided me with tips, insights and valuable nuggets of information to enable me to move forward in looking for new PM posts. It was also a reminder of the achievements and successes in my own career and in turn boosted me in my efforts.
I found the job search section of the course very helpful. How to consider key words, filters and website identification all helped to make a sometimes overwhelming exercise appear clear and approachable. Myth busting on terminology, example ‘digital project manager’ I also found to be clear and informative.
This course provides a ton of best practice suggestions in the job interview section – and acute observations on what not to do.
The LinkedIn section was useful in helping me develop my presence on the platform and consider how my digital self is viewed.
A super course and money well spent.' - Lex Lewis
'For me I found the course very insightful and thought provoking. The sessions were tailored to all the areas and others I had not thought of within my role and future role.
Interactions with yourself were personal and gave opportunity to share current challenges/ areas of improvement. Your answers and guidance was always welcome and specific to my concerns.
The greatest thing I gained from the course was confidence in my abilities, direction in my future path as a project professional and a wider view of all that is available to me within Project Management.
Lastly I am truly grateful for the 1 on 1, your knowledge and desire to help me was deeply appreciated and evident from beginning to end.' - Tendai Dhliwayo
