So for some time now the noises coming out of the economy have been generally much more positive then we have been used to; unemployment is falling, more jobs are being created and the general consensus is that eventually salaries / day-rates will start to slowly increase. As a professional PPM Practioner in 2014, your skills are likely to be sought after, so this may be the year you can start to to reverse the trend of the last 3 or 4 years and see some growth in your salary. Ok, the sentiment of that first paragraph is actually true and 2014 will hopefully be the start of some better times for us all. But who read that and was distracted by the grammar and / or spelling mistakes? How many of you were thinking “someone should really have proof read that before it was posted” rather than focussing on the positive message that it contained? I hope it was quite a few of you, but if you didn’t spot them I used “then” when I should have used “than”; a repetition on “no” and I spelt “practitioner” incorrectly and obviously on purpose to make a point! Attention to detail is absolutely critical when it comes to your job search; you have to be absolutely fastidious if the message contained in your CV is to have the desired impact. It may be a fact that more jobs are being created but it is still a very competitive market place and you have to constantly be thinking how you can elevate yourself above the competition.
