For Project Managers who are Job Hunting

Do you need to change jobs or make a career move?

This year I had to switch between companies and was in the market to find the next ideal position.  When you find yourself looking for another good job opportunity, you need to have a really good resume. Perhaps one that would help you to stand out from all the other applicants.

The purpose of this article is to share a new type of resume, called the One Page Resume or CV. Recruiters are overloaded with resumes on a daily basis and you want your CV to stand out for the right reason by following a different approach. It’s built around a timeline and you could use it as a cover to your existing CV.

Are you a Project Manager based in South Africa? Are you looking for a new challenge in Project Management?

Or do you have vacancies on your project team that you would like to advertise to a targeted group of project professionals?

Project Management South Africa (PMSA) has just launched a new online resource that allows PMSA members to upload their CVs to a searchable database. A CV summary is then viewable by subscribed recruitment agencies and fellow members. If a CV summary sparks interest, the candidate will receive an email request to release the full CV for viewing by the requesting party.

Agencies and companies pay a subscription fee to advertise jobs and search CVs on the recruitment system, while individual members, RETPs and corporate members may upload vacancies free of charge.
