For me when I am recruiting an assistant level / PM role it’s what can the business offer you to progress ? Can they give you expose to projects ? Have they got a plan for you to move upwards ? Have they got an overall growth strategy so you don’t hit a ceiling ?

If your currently have all of these in place then good, if you haven’t, I would have find out more on this one.
