The role at manages several workstreams is called a Program Manager at my company. As an IT Project Manager I remove all roadblocks to ensure we stay focused on scope, schedule, budget for both Technical and non-technical resources.. #ProjectManager #ProjectManagement

    Hi Kristyn, awesome video on PM. I am starting to prepare for certification of PM too.. Although, my current title is not PM, I actually do a lot of PM work. So also, if you are not actually looking for the title of a PM there are roles out there that consists of PM responsibilities that many companies are looking for. So overall I think having PM certification /experience on your resume will put you ahead of many people that lack this. I just became a Manager in February and increased my salary tremendously by just having the MBA, Pharma experience and PM experience without certification. I believe that having the resume showcase who you are is key! Once again, thank you so much for this great video. I cant wait to see more content on this topic ☺️🌟✨🌟✨

    Yes, but you have to qualify for the exam. I can’t remember off the top of my head what the requirements are but PMI.org will have everything you need. You will want to look for the required hours and testing to sit for the exam. If you pass the exam I would personally apply for PM jobs and not associate jobs.

    Hi Ashley just get your resume out to as many people as possible. Send it to a recruiter and search for PM jobs in your area. Be clear on your expectations with the recruiter and if you're willing to move and the industry. There are many types of project managers. I'm an IT Project Manager and I manage the entire project for all resources which include IT, business subject matter experts (SMEs), shared service teams such as Security, application architecture, infrastructure, AD, QA, QC and other resources. So it really depends on the industry.
