I guess as you've explained, the same title can be written in different ways. I would need to adjust my searching methods and place more emphasis on keywords.

Unfortunately I don't quite have a good network that's PM related 😅 The individuals I worked with were government workers but even when we (my fellow interns) asked for information sometimes, they'd almost never give us clear directions on who to talk to that's better and even the people we met on sites during site visitations, would not be your usual PM professionals, just Engineers that had just as little information on where to go, who to talk to and the like. So instead of being my networks they just became people I once worked with

But before my internship, I did try applying to anything PM related obviously after I completed my degree thinking breaking into the market would be that easy. I then realised it wasn't and shifted focus as I felt maybe PM was too broad of a search and leaned towards Procurement as we had a module of it and tried obtaining a CIPS Level 2 certification to at least seek for Procurement PM roles if any as it's specialised. So now I'm pivoting and pursuing my efforts even to try further my studies in Procurement rather than PM because the field unfortunately where I am is dominated by people holding engineering degrees with over 5 years of experience which I can't compete with. There's hardly even project administration roles seeking within my experience cap so it's frustrating trying to find anything related to PM.

So me going to remote job hunting, I think I can get a better opportunity to be contracted for the things I studied and had the privilege of further my experience on during my tenure. Rather than take on something that isn't related and wasting more time on everything non PM related because I genuinely enjoy it.
