Been looking for them for like a month. Have they been discontinued?

And it happened all over the past 3 days!!!

I had applied for a different role back in March with this company. Once I applied to the role, I looked up the hiring manager on LinkedIn and sent a quick DM, mentioning I had applied for the role and a quick few lines on my professional experience and reason the role interested me. I did not get the job then, didn't even get an interview, just that polite auto-denial email we all know and hate! Fast forward to this week, and the same hiring manager reaches out to me, would I be interested in a similar short term position-as a consultant to back fill someone who was leaving as they are against a product deadline and need a body. Now, I'm in a career pivot. This role would add a very meaningful piece into my resume for the career path I am hoping to move along. Even though it isn't a permanent role, I am so grateful to me from 3 months ago for getting on this person's mental radar! Feel bashful about reaching out like that? I did, and did it anyway. And I now have a 3 month gig to bolster my resume and add valuable experience! Onwards!!!

Hi- I'm scheduled for an interview tomorrow afternoon (5/21) for a 2 month gig with an EdTech company. Had applied for a Print Manager-Project Manager role 2 months ago and had reached out to connect with the hiring manager on LinkedIn. Didn't get that role, but got a quick reply yesterday asking if I was interested in a similar role - short term. I'm currently in a pivot - transition from marketing/sales into project management, so I am eager to get more traditional pm roles on my resume and this looks like a good opportunity. Now- what is a legit hourly rate? I come from publishing - where everyone is incredibly underpaid- so when I used Chat GPT for ballpark hourly rates for a role like this, I was shocked. I have taken a 10 week course for PM, and I'm studying for the CAPM currently. Ive done pm work for years, but it was never framed as pm work, so I'm still new to the actual pm role. Can people who have done work like this - I'm adding the job description below- what should I expect to hear and where should I hold the line on compensation? Much appreciated, internet hive mind! Job description, of the role I applied for in March (I'm thinking the role they want me for is slightly different for a short term sprint like this):

• Manage print projects from kickoff through final file delivery for English and Spanish products
• Utilize project management software to track and report on all project statuses
• Transmit project files (including PDFs and InDesign files) to all user groups
• Collaborate with managers and stakeholders, including contractors, to ensure projects are completed on time and to specifications
• Schedule, organize, and lead weekly Print Production status meetings to align stakeholders, track progress, and surface risks early
• Facilitate regularly-scheduled status calls with multiple external vendors and internal stakeholders
• Support query management and query resolution for production issues
• Assist in organizing work based on team member expertise, experience, and workload
• Partner with the Contract Management team to hire and onboard independent contractors (ICs) as needed to support production timelines
• Support file management initiatives and file management best practices especially focused on using AI and introducing automation
• Provide project updates on a consistent basis to various stakeholders regarding strategy, adjustments, and progress
• Continuously monitor progress and make adjustments as needed
• Troubleshoot and problem solve when situations do not align with usual processes
• Other assigned tasks as needed to meet project deadlines and deliverables

I keep getting email spammed for a "kit" of pm management tools on L1nke3d1n-can anyone give me an idea of things like this are worth it? I'm new to formalized PM working-realistically have been doing a lot of it for years and I'm getting the CAPM to try and get better opportunities, so a lot of the templates (Gantt charts, dashboards, etc) are indeed new to me. Thanks for any and all advice!
