Hitting a brick wall...how do I break through this?

Thanks for the fantastic replies, there's some really good advice in there. Thanks for taking the time.
I am Prince2 but I'm finding that the competition has that, and a lot more time served in contracting to get them across the line.
The CV is nearly always described as being strong, and I do get the call backs, but as a lot of agencies search for candidates on key words alone - that doesn't necessarily mean a good gig match.
I do think that the ' service' on offer has to be refined, it's PMO or PM; by marketing myself as some kind of hybrid I'm going to be overlooked every time.
I am starting to rethink my direction, and that's throwing up some exciting options away from corporate life. Maybe this is the type of break I really needed. We'll see.
Thank you very much again.Comment
