I started off as a software engineer but felt myself gravitating towards management over the years - People and Projects. Have had a taste of what it's like to manage people. Now want to get into managing projects. Don't want to spend the next two to five years "growing" towards being a PM in a permie role. I'd rather struggle in the contract market and learn the ropes the hard and fast way (if it is possible at all, but thunderlizard's reply has given me some hope). It may very well not work out and I may be out of a job for long periods next year, but that's a chance I'm willing to take.

Um, let's suppose I'm a prospective client. Tell me why I should hire you as a PM when you never did this before and I have 50 CVs from experienced PMs in my inbox. What would your actual reply be if asked this by email?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

You might be able to carve out a niche as a professional scapegoat, but with no actual experience I wouldn't fancy your chances of getting work.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Can I compliment you on your command of the English language - plus the best Indian grammar I've ever seen....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
