My favorite series and PM! You’re the reason I’m transitioning to PM. I obtained my certification back in September and it has definitely opened doors for me. The entire time I was studying I kept telling myself “You can do anything you put your mind to.” I started interviewing for PM roles last month. Before every interview I tell myself “you can do anything you put your mind to.” I’m so excited. I’m hoping to land a new PM role at my dream company next month! Thank you Kristyn!

Update: I landed my first PM role 2 months ago with a great company. I love my new job!

I love that you gave honest insight into the field & not just trying to glamorize “doing nothing” all day.

Having been in the PM space for 27 years (just retired on medical disability) I miss it. I took the test one time and didn’t pass in year 10 and I never wanted to take it again. But I was able to take certs to help me become a better PM. Then I became a BA, PC and Prokect Analyst. I loved my career but it was met with everyday challenges that would try to break me as an African American woman in a male dominated field at that time. It’s intense but you also gotta be organized and task oriented. Love this video thanks for bringing insight.

Are you from the U.K. or Canada? I noticed you said year 10.

🌟⭐️wow yes I have been watching you for almost the entire time. Time flies. Can’t wait for the next vlog.

Loved this! Definitely want a more detailed version. And to also hear your perspective of how you balance being a full time career woman with having a side hustle as a KZread and content creator. I have a full time career in B2B marketing and advertising and I used to have a full time business as a marketing consultant, but since I took on my full time role I'm finding it difficult to find the time to still do my side hustle, which is what I'm really passionate about. So any insights and perspective that you can give on this and how to balance it all would be very much appreciated. 🥰

. . . OMGosh--I've been looking at HRBP roles because I've managed HR projects. 😍 I think I want to continue as a senior PM, but formally/officially be a part of HR with a focus on HRIS.

Thank you for this series. It's been my 2nd yeat working remotely and almost 1st when I'm working as a PM and I'm learning a lot- I'm actually starting my studies next month (business management in marketing), so yeah it's serious for me (also I'm ADHD so it's a blessing for my chaotic life) and I'm really feeling it. What I'm battling with are those moments when projects are on hold or there is nothing really to do, because everything is on time and the guilt I get from past years of the fake hustle culture- I'm trying to spend that time as productive as I can by watching some webinars or finding just new ways to educate myself and improve0 or just do some house chores :D

Please keep the PM content coming! I would love to learn and see more. Thanks

I just wanna say I’ve been watching you since 2020 and I was a recent undergrad then. You really inspired me to get into the business management field. Next year I will starting my MiM program and you are definitely a catalyst in me make this decision so thank you thank you!! ❤️

I honestly think it’s worth it to get the PMP. Best part about it is a lot of employers will pay for it. If they’re giving it to you for free just do the work and get it. it’ll benefit you long-term.

Studying for my PMP right now. I was so against it but the benefits are endless!

. . . same. I'm a nervous test taker, so I was scared to sit for it; I opted to sit for the CAPM instead. Interestingly enough, people have told me after the fact that the CAPM is more difficult than the PMP because it's 90% situational (which comes easy for some once you have the mindset) and you really have to know your stuff with the CAPM even though it's marketed as "entry-level"...I'm a senior PM BTW, but the growth don't stop. 💯 Best wishes, Valerie! 🤗 Kristyn, thanks boo as always--you know I love your PM uploads! 💜
