I get recruiters from Amazon contacting me over LinkedIn also, but I get the impression that happens more for technical roles than for project management positions like OP is looking for. I may be wrong.

The description of what you do is so generic, it's kind of laughable.

Phone a friend. That’s how I got an interview. Didn’t get the job tho.


+1, the best way is a referral. Otherwise, a really good resume. Getting an interview is easy, getting through the interview process is not. I think my spouse had several phone and several in person locally and then they flew him out to Seattle.
