Unless you have investment bank infrastructure experience I have seen hardly any PM roles come up. In December I was getting at least daily phone calls re. PM roles and seeing quite a lot advertised even over the Xmas period. Should pick up in the next week or two hopefully...

Eh?
Every working day I have applied for at least one IT / PRINCE2 Practitioner Project Manager role that I could comfortably do. And I ignore all London roles.
Are you not looking?
Granted, it is still quiet out there, but there is most definitely project manager contract roles being advertised.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think. -

Volunteer, become a day trader (on paper) etc. only look at jobserve at a pre-defined time/s, only apply for roles you are really a good fit for etc.

Do you include insurance roles? Norwich (just WTF does Norwich Union do to its project managers? They are never not advertising) and other places have come up for them.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostI disregard banking and have noticed banking PM roles outside London. Are you restricting yourself by location? I have seen banking or finance roles in Edinburgh and Hampshire.

People are still calling, even this time of the year.
