Changing jobs: from break-fix to project oriented

I'm on the hunt for a new job & I'm at the point where I apply for top-tier break fix positions, or project oriented positions. The problem is I have never worked on projects that lasted more than 3-4 weeks, but I don't see doing them as an issue. From my understanding you are presented with a problem & a budget. You have to research, design & present cost-analysis plans for possible solutions then, implement the one that gets signed off on.
The problem is I don't understand how to get my foot in the door on projects necessarily. Most people are wanting to hire people with lengthy project experience & break-fix experience. I can only assume this is due to the economy picking back up & they are trying to pick up people that were laid off; theoretically they should be better candidates. Any pointers on what should be in a resume that is oriented for a project position? Did I hit the nail on the head with what to expect? Any suggested reading that could help with this? Is a CAPM certification worth pursuing?
