What do I do now
Been talking to some training institue for training me on RAC, dataguard, ASM. Start tomorrow. Will cost me a pretty penny.
Been considering taking the entire Hyperion EPM training as a future step.
Considering taking the DW and BO training.
Strenghthen my DW and BI profile. But I guess I will first try and aim for a job as DBA and need to do some boning up.
Not much leads been worked on. Barely any job requirements for DBA, leave alone PM. Feeling a bit low...
Looking at redoing my resume for Product Mgmt and DBA profiles.

My first cut at letter for PM Databases
I am responding to your requirement on Dice.com and am applying for the job of PM with Database skill set (Job ID: TPM-KS). I do believe I am very qualified for this position for the following compelling reasons:I have been a Project Manager dealing solely with Oracle DB related activities that deal with tasks at the enterprise/business unit level. In the last 6 years as a Sr Oracle Project Manager, I have dealt extensively with tasks related to Oracle upgrades to latest versions, Technology refresh projects that involve migrating databases and applications to new OS, Oracle and OS patching, Disaster Recovery and Planning, leading missions with fact finding in Query Tuning and Optimization efforts involved with new features releases, application rewrites, hardware migrations or Oracle upgrades. I have worked in niche areas of managing the installs and release processes for Business Intelligence products such as Hyperion, Jasper BI suite and Informatica. I have helped the PMO office streamline database release processes, developing process flow for merger and acquisition activities. Other factors that do make me enjoy my job and be successful at is, that I have a very compelling can do attitude and possess good straegic planning skills,communication skill, negotiations skills and relationship building skills that are equally important.I have accomplished all this while still maintaining strong technical skills leveraging various features of the Oracle database. Regards
Vikas

I have crafted a reasonably satisfactory resume highlighting my PM skills. Sunita, Tarun have given me some positive input. Also based on advise from Jan from UGA career resource center I am zoned in on my message.
I also viewed some of the material on action verbs, tense and power phrases on the UGA career mgt service site.
The new version contains action verbs and power phrases and in the past tense.
Next I need to craft a good cover letter message.
I am now building my profile on Dice to apply for some PM positons.
