What is it about M.Eng and PMP that is vomit inducing? I'm actually studying for my PMP now and have considered an M.Eng to try to get into the Geotechnical field, albeit I'm not keen on more schooling if I can help it.
On topic, I wish I had advice for you but networking and who I've known (with pretty average resumes used) is how I've gotten jobs with casual interviews. Lately I've spent a lot of time resume writing, going insane over every little detail, using LinkedIn services, job scan ATS evaluators, and my interview rate has been dismal. That's even with internal referrals. Safe to say its kind of a crap shoot right now.
