I've been on Indeed for 6 months, applying to jobs daily, and NOTHING. Find a job by contacting companies directly, or ask friends.

I totally get how frustrating that can be, you’re not alone. The UK market's competitive, especially in project management, but there are ways to... break through. Here’s what I’d suggest:

1. Tailor your CV like a project brief.
Don’t go broad, match your CV to each job description. Focus on tools (Jira, Trello, MS Project), frameworks (Agile, Waterfall, Prince2), and specific outcomes you’ve delivered. Show how you moved the needle.

2. Make sure your qualifications line up with the UK market. Certs like PRINCE2, AgilePM, Scrum Master, or APM PMQ are well-recognised and sometimes expected. If you’re missing any, consider short courses—many are low-cost or free via places like FutureLearn or OpenLearn.

3. Tap into the freelance and contract world. Loads of PMs build experience this way before landing perm gigs. In the UK, companies like Capita, Hays, Reed, Robert Half, Michael Page, Experis, and Modis regularly hire PMs on a freelance/contract basis.

Hope this helps and good luck! more

I would join the INDEED website. Pros looking for pros job site and networking.
Maybe there are focus job groups or free conferences and job fares... you could attend. What does a project manager do ? It sounds vague to me. Do you specialize in a certain area ? I'm sure you've tried everything. Ever thought of starting your own business ? Good luck !!! more
