Soul-crushing is an understatement.

Can you give more of a background on the role you ended up with?

Is there much call for project managers?

You could say it was like riding The Devastator at Thrill World! One minute I was laughing, the next...

Were you working during this time, or relying on Savings?

This is why we have a worker shortage. Not because people don’t want to work. Corporations need to lower those expectations and pay a decent living wage.

Bro, this makes no sense 13-hundred applications? Are those just 13-hundred clicks on Indeed or what? Like when I apply, I investigate the best person in the company to email and also bring in a resume in person. May not be able to do that for every field, but I don't understand how someone can make 13 hundred quality applications.

I had 5 months severance and the other five from savings. I am lucky that I have savings.

Likely most of those were auto filtered rejections due to poor resume construction or the algorithm didn't detect enough key words.

74 phone screens is insane though. 50% success rate on phone screens does seem good to me.

Thanks! I tried breaking into Tech as a PM but most feedback said they wanted a tech background. I am in learning and development.

Short answer: you can't. Beyond that, it is difficult to believe there are even 1300 applicable, senior-level (assumed given the 17 yrs exp.) job openings in an individual field.

You don't believe that there are 1300 Senior Project Manager positions in the United States?

1300 whose job description, offered pay, and advancement opportunities align with one individual's resume, skillset, and career goals? Not a chance.
