A 'System' to scan and find the next job

[Star]

I am over my current job as a PM in a Business PMO in a finance company and looking to move on. In a nut shell much is asked of me (accountability, managing multiple projects, managing managers that struggle with the managing part and etc) but little is returned. I was promoted up to PM but not promoted money wise so it is time to move on.

What I am looking for is ‘system’ for monitoring other companies I would like to work for. I can easily pound a jobs search site however most job ads here are run by shonky agents and I prefer to deal directly with a company.

My ‘system’ options at the moment are to regularly scan the career pages of my target companies maybe once a week and be patient.

Note: I would not change roles or company for the sake of changing or to be spiteful. I am prepared to be patient but I also want to be efficient and effective.

Any other ideas for a ‘system’

A headhunter.

what's a PM (project manager?) and PMO?

Your system is shite. Your system should involve getting out there, meeting industry players, setting up informational meetings when appropriate, generally putting your name out there.

I'm guessing project manager and project management office.

Your system should be to make friends with people in your target companies.
