It’s ridiculous though. So many people move their lips when reading or need to break, if just for a few seconds from looking at the screen. I’m debating which to do now, because of my busy work schedule and limited time off I’m unable to just schedule time to take it which is why online makes more sense. Just nervous after hearing so many stories
Yeah... the "good" stories about taking the exam online are around, but the bad ones outnumber them. Probably because those who take the exam online and then pass without a hitch don't write about it. In the end, you have to make the decision online/in-center based on your own needs. And if you decide to do it online, simply use the "horror stories" to learn from others' mistakes. Learn what they did to have their exams revoked, and simply don't do those things.
Thank you, very helpful!
Hi Fichtner! Your podcast videos are really helping me to know about the PMO responsibilities. I am a fresher who is practicing Project Management as a PMO Consultant. Thank you so much for such a podcast. Please make more and more... ❤
I am very glad that the interviews are helping. Within the next week, episodes 419, 420 and 424 of The PM Podcast will be uploaded here to The PM Podcast on KZread. All 3 of these are about PMOs. So check back soon for those!
I failed my second exam attempt today and yet I just got all three of these answers correct very easily. I feel like I have the mindset you're talking about, but the actual exam questions are much trickier and more head scratching than these. This exam is so frustrating
Dear Sir, Kindly share your email id. I have a suggestion for you.
"Managing the urgent and unexpected" - book title
This video was as helpful! Thank you!
Insightful analysis !! Sir what would be some best books to read for becoming successful design engineer and projects manager in aec industry..
Maintain and advance work skills and job search skills while still working if you can. I work in a highly volatile industry (oilfield). Over the past 24 years I have had 5 transitions. I do not like change, but I am relatively good at seeing the writing on the wall. Those 5 transitions were either seeing layoffs (or job stagnation in one case) in the future or actual layoffs. During a couple of the layoffs, people who laid me off got a bit emotional. I felt the need to reassure them that I would be okay and it is part of working in oilfield. I work on my LinkedIn and personal contacts. I keep my skills relevant and keep moving forward with my education/training. I am in a technical role (chemist), but also have my PMP. I focus on job searching skills, resume updates, etc. even when I am not looking. Of those 5 transitions, they were either directly moving after giving 2 weeks notice or getting a job offer within a month. With a better monetary position, not just settling. IMO, staying on top of job search skills and advancing work related skills really helps. I know not everyone is so lucky, and I wasn't early in my career, if someone is in a volatile industry or a shaky position then staying on top of career skills can help...even if you need a friend/mentor to help or hire a career coach. I have a friend (then coworker) who asked me to tutor him on writing safety data sheets for chemicals. He wanted to work in that area but our company was not allowing him to transfer as he didn't have the skills. We did 1 hour sessions at a local restaurant I liked. I knew he wouldn't let me do the tutoring for free so I charged him $20 which covered my dinner and 2 glasses of wine. 🍷Although he didn't finish the tutoring, it was because was offered a new position at another company in large part (IMO) due to their being impressed that he proactively got the SDS training from me. If you have evidence that you are working on growing your skills then employers notice. Even if you do so after you are laid off. Just my thoughts...
Thank you for sharing, Cornelius. These podcasts were pivotal in my obtaining my PMP in 2019. Your exam prep software is also the best in the business, hands down. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Much appreciated!
What about Toastmasters?
Yes... that would definitely be an additional idea to improve your public speaking and meeting management skills.
Going to start WBS for my project from today!!Great prodcast again!!!
Great podcast!!! I thoroughly enjoyed!!!You both were awesome!!
Thank you very much!
I have completed the class and courses for PMI Certified Associate in Project Management. Please guide how to prepare for exam. Thank you!
❤ I am your Fan Cornelius. Very helpful podcast
Thanks for listening. We're in the middle of uploading all 500+ episodes here to KZread... you may want to take a vacation to have enough free time... :-)
It would help to put number on each one so if KZread does not, learners can.
I'm not completely sure I understand your comment (sorry!). What exactly do you mean by " put number on each one"?
I agree
Thank you. I know that this may be a somewhat "controversial" PMP Exam Tip, but I have seen too many of my students take the exam from home, and then get disqualified for what does seem like "minor" infractions. While these rules are in place for a good reason (and I personally approve of them), I cannot recommend taking the exam from home if you can avoid it. Go to your local testing center instead.

Congratulations on the 500th episode! I've listened to most of the podcasts since 2011, when I got my PMP certification. I have many favorite ones, and surely amongst them are the ones with Elizabeth Harrin and Margaret Meloni. So much amazing knowledge. Thank you so much for the hard work. Best of luck for the coming years. 😃🎉
You are too kind! Thank you so much for saying that!
Wishing you and team all the best for your future endeavours and for the road ahead. You guyz have been doing a fabulous work in this domain.
Thank you. Thank you.
Great time capsule episode! 😀
Yes... it's "been a while" since I recorded this particular episode... 😁
some examples?
Hi Cornelius, great presentation thanks (second time posting this, first one disappeared for some reason). In the video you state the launch special ($99) lasts until June 30th, but on the website it stays 31st of May, so wanted to check which was correct? Thanks!
The website hasn't been updated yet. $99 launch special will continue until 2024-June-30.

I saw you live but wanted to reinforce my praise for this video.
Thank you so much, Beth. Much appreciated!
@@CorneliusFichtnerPrepCast I signed up for the class.
Looks great, Cornelius! Gave you a shout out on LinkedIn.
Thank you David! Appreciate it.
Also, please check your email... I had a question for you regarding this course.
In French please

Thanks for the informative video! I completed the CAPM exam online today and at the end of the exam it said "Congratulations" but I'm uncertain whether I passed or not. It's quite stressful to wait for the results. When I log in to PMI or Pearson, it just says STATUS: Taken. I hope I get the results soon!
@alphmeister: No need to worry! If you see "Congratulations" at the end of your exam, then you have passed with 99.999% certainty. You should receive an email from PMI within 24 hours to confirm, but that's usually just a formality. Therefore... Congratulations on passing your CAPM exam from me! Are you planning on doing the PMP sometime in the future?
@@CorneliusFichtnerPrepCast thank you for your reply! That’s awesome news, thank you very much! I’m in operations management right now, I’m tying to get into project management and yes, I’ll be looking at taking the PMP once I’ve got some experience. Thanks again!
Great video!!
