the Project Management career shift that no one is talking about

Hey friend,

The hiring landscape for Project Managers has fundamentally shifted in 2025.

Companies no longer hire primarily based on experience or certifications. They've moved to a new model that prioritizes something entirely different.

Today, I want to break down exactly what's changed and how you can position yourself to take advantage of this shift...

By the way, the upcoming CareerBootcamp will be the last one for quite some time. The next one will be in the summer.

Now, let's get back to the three key strategies that are working in today's market...

• Outcome-based positioning: Rather than listing responsibilities, successful PM candidates now showcase specific, quantifiable business impacts.

  → Frame every experience through the lens of measurable results - how you moved key metrics, saved time/money, or improved processes with concrete numbers.

• Strategic skill stacking: The most in-demand PM candidates in 2025 combine traditional project management expertise with adjacent skills in data analysis, product thinking, and change management. This creates a unique value proposition that stands out in a crowded market.

• Proactive engagement strategy: Top candidates no longer wait for job listings. They're building relationships with hiring managers before positions open, creating targeted portfolios of mini-case studies relevant to specific companies, and leveraging strategic informational interviews to position themselves as solutions to business problems.

If I would need to land a job in the next 3 months, here is what I would do :

• revamp the resume focusing on the impact

• learn new in-demand skill

• proactively outreach to the right people at the companies

• join the bootcamp to learn HOW to do correctly all of the above and save time

Until the next time,
With love,
Violeta
