Project Manager CV or Resume Optimisation
PM CVs For Impact Services
Are you a Project Management professional stuck on the job-hunt hamster wheel? Are you sending your CV to recruiters, friends, and job sites without seeing progress? If you’re not getting interviews, it’s time to change things up. Your CV needs to make an impact where it matters most: with the PM Hiring Manager.
Fix your Project Management CV
I've read hundreds of project manager CVs and many of them are very frustrating. Some common issues I notice are:- Vague, fluffy, or redundant experience statements.
- Experience phrased in low-value terms
- Unbalanced CVs - too much content in some areas and not enough in others.Let's face it: a CV has to go through many touchpoints (both automated and human) before it reaches a PM Hiring Manager, but the hiring manager is the most important. If you don't start answering their top-of-mind questions very quickly, then no interview. If you don't engage them with crisp statements of relevant experience - no interview. And if you irritate them, say with poor spelling or wasted words - yeah, you guessed it - no interview.Those earlier steps are important, but the PM Hiring Manager is critical. And we believe that getting things right for the hiring manager will also improve your results getting through the earlier stages.
Key Benefits
- Project Management specific: This service is focused on the specific problems and opportunities of project managers seeking new roles.
- Experienced PM Insights: Get feedback from a veteran PM hiring manager.
- Precision Editing: A sharp, no-nonsense focus on your achievements.
- Marketability: Position yourself as a standout candidate.
- Readiness: Be prepared for both the CV review and the interview.
Service Offerings
We are developing a range of CV enhancement services, starting with the simplest engagement model for both parties. Other services will be rolled out soon. Please click on a link below to see the details of each service.
Why Choose AoP?
Why choose Adam (AoP Actual) for your PM CV optimisation?
- Unmatched Expertise: I've managed hundreds of projects and participated in hundreds of CV reviews and/or interviews. I bring a depth of knowledge and experience of the PM hiring process not found in generic CV fine-tuning services.
- Powerful Analyses: We've developed a unique combination of analyses that we perform on your CVs (see below for details).
- Focused on You: I want to maximise the value of your CV to put you in the best possible position to get interviews and, ultimately, that dream job.
CV Analyses and Quality Scoring
We've developed a deep analysis and scoring process for project manager CVs that reviews the content from multiple perspectives. These analyses combine automated processes and manual edits by deeply experienced project management veterans. These analyses cover 4 main areas:
1. Empty Content: We detect vague, fluffy or redundant information in your PM experience statements, across 5 main categories.
2. Value Score: We've adapted an industry standard for assessing value in projects to the PM CV. We score your experience statements on a rating of 0-5 and then look at aggregate value scores at the CV and job/role levels.
3. Keywords: We analyse your CV content to identify relevant keywords related to types such as Skills, Processes, Products, Technologies, and Standards. We assess the balance of these keywords across the document and per job/role.
4. Structure: We perform meta-analysis of the CV to look at balance and content metrics.
Caveats
- We don’t promise ATS tricks or guarantees of interviews. But we believe that our CV treatments will improve your chances at the stages before the PM hiring manager stage.
- This is not a generic CV writing service but a specialist experience statement revision service for Project Management professionals.

Do You need Coaching or Mentoring?
Coaching & Mentoring are two valid strategies for Project Leaders to uplift their skills and efficacy. Everyone is different so I don't pre-define the approach. But the two types breakdown as follows:
- Coaching: A structured, short-term engagement focused on achieving specific goals, such as improving stakeholder communication or preparing for certification exams.
- Mentoring: A long-term relationship offering strategic guidance, career advice, and insight into navigating professional challenges.No need to formalise this decision upfront—we’ll tailor the approach to suit your preferences and objectives.

Project Tune-up Service
Is Your Project Slowing Down or Missing the Mark?
Too many projects lose momentum or struggle with misaligned teams and unclear goals. The Project Tune-Up Service (PTUS) is here to help you change that.
Do you have a big problem?
Most project leaders find themselves firefighting instead of leading. Here’s why this happens:- "We don’t have time or budget for that." Teams feel pressured to cut corners or skip steps because project management feels bureaucratic or unrealistic within their constraints. This often leads to key pieces of knowledge—such as business needs, priorities, or success criteria—being unclear or completely missing.
- "The vendor will handle it." Many projects mistakenly rely on solution vendors to capture essential knowledge. Vendors, however, are focused on implementing their product, often doing only the minimum required. They rarely take on the accountability for understanding the business’s operations or ensuring alignment with broader objectives. This leaves critical gaps that cause miscommunication, misaligned deliverables, and frustration.Paradoxically, the same firefighting can occur if the project is over-invested in tools and processes, which sucks time and energy and distracts from the real problems.The result? Both over- and underinvestment can deprive projects of the foundational knowledge they need to succeed, leading to delays, missed goals, and unnecessary complexity
A clear solution
PTUS provides a simple, effective solution to get your project back on track.Our unique approach focuses on three key principles:1. Identify what really matters to your project.
2. Bring your team together and align to your goal.
3. Select the right tools and processes to help you get there.PTUS assesses your project against project fundamentals, not a branded methodology or framework. And, PTUS offers targeted guidance to address your project’s specific challenges, without just loading you up with a list of formulaic non-compliance recommendations.At AdamOnProjects, we believe there’s no need to overwhelm teams with jargon-heavy frameworks. We stand firm: success comes from focusing on people, priorities, and practical solutions. No fluff, no unnecessary overhead. If you’re tired of traditional consulting services that overcomplicate, PTUS is for you.
A Big Benefit
With PTUS, you’ll:- Cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters.
- Unite your team with clear priorities and better communication.
- See tangible improvements in project outcomes without added complexity.Our philosophy of "Minimum Responsible Intervention" ensures you get results with the smallest, most impactful changes.
Minimum Responsible Intervention
Minimum Responsible Intervention: The Smallest Change with the Biggest Impact.PTUS introduces a fresh way to think about project improvement. Instead of piling on more tasks, we focus on making the smallest, most effective interventions that immediately move the needle. This perspective simplifies problem-solving while empowering your team to excel.What sets PTUS apart is that it doesn’t rely on any standardised project management processes or branded methodologies as a success framework. You’ll never hear advice like "you haven’t done x, y, or z as defined in the standard project management process." Instead, every piece of guidance is tailored to your project’s unique context, providing actionable and achievable next steps that measurably improve your situation.By focusing on what matters most to your team and stakeholders, PTUS ensures every recommendation drives meaningful progress without adding unnecessary complexity.
Process
The PTUS is delivered over a series of 5 sessions across 2-4 weeks, working with the project leader/principal. These sessions are as follows:Session 0: Discovery
Session 1: Identify What Really Matters
Session 2: Bring People Together
Session 3: Select the Optimum Tools and Approach
Session 4: Action Plans and ValidationAdditional sessions are available for ongoing support
Next Steps
Start by filling out our registration form. This quick questionnaire will help us understand your project’s current state and determine how PTUS can help. We'll be in contact to take this to the next stage.
